why there is need to provide shear reinforcement?give the
basic reason?

Answer Posted / m.k.gupta

As the concrete is weak in shear and at ends/supports the
shear force is maximum so their is a chance of sliding/
shearfailure of structural parts as beams at ends. so steel
is provided to bear this shear force and prevent shear
failure.( i.e. at ends cocrete is prevented to slide in the
vertical direction )
