Abstract : Conventionally the RCC members in flexure are designed for longitudinal tensile reinforcement and safety against shear with separate considerations for bending moments and shear forces. However, analytically it has been found that if the profile of reinforcement rod/rods are provided along the tensile principal stresses at a section or concordant to the profile of B.M. diagrams due to external loads, no separate shear reinforcement is needed, specially against fixed type of loadings as have been illustrated in the paper with different beams under different loadings and supporting conditions.
