THE OPTIMIZATION STRENGTH THEORY OF RC ELEMENTS AND SOLUTION OF SHEAR PROBLEM
The shear strength designs recommended by the MC 2010 are analyzed. It is noted that despite the multiformity of shear failure types observed in experiments, the MC 2010 takes into account only two types: on the Critical Inclined Crack (CIC) and on the web concrete crushing. It is shown the nonvalidity of opinion concerning exclusive great importance of interlock forces in the crack for shear bearing capacity. It is emphasized the need to reveal the cause of considered problem complication, i.e. missing information which must be included into model.
