3. The Importance of Shear Reinforcement Even in Prestressed Beams
In the 1950s, some engineers believed prestressing eliminated the need for stirrups. Leonhardt’s experiments proved otherwise. He demonstrated that without sufficient vertical reinforcement, a prestressed beam can fail diagonally with no warning. Grout and duct materials:
