Comparative analysis between prediction models in codes and test data for shear strength

Since the beginning of twentieth century, along with academic publications of Ritter and Mörsch, several studies have been done in order to understand shear strength in reinforced concrete elements. Approximately 1,200 laboratory tests results of reinforced concrete beams under shear stresses were used in a comparative analysis among values from prediction models of codes and laboratory tests results, enabling classification of the codes according to their applicability in several tests intervals. Although the Brazilian Code NBR 6118 (2007) showed good results in usual ranges of parameters, it presented unsatisfactory results on the following cases: low and medium shear transverse reinforcement rate.
