Civil Engineering > GATE 2023 SET-2 > Reinforced Concrete Design
With regard to the shear design of RCC beams, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
A
Excessive shear reinforcement can lead to compression failure in concrete
B
Beams without shear reinforcement, even if adequately designed for flexure, can have brittle failure
C
The main (longitudinal) reinforcement plays no role in the shear resistance of beam
D
As per IS456:2000, the nominal shear stress in the beams of varying depth depends on both the design shear force as well as the design bending moment

Correct : a, b, d
