5.7.2 Shear Failures<br />
Within the category of shear failures were included girder tests that failed purely in shear<br />
and those that underwent a shear failure initiated by strand slip. In general, the resulting<br />
moment-curvature and load-displacement curves were similar. Girder test G2A-Center seen in<br />
Figure 5.14 involved a center span where the shear rein<strong>for</strong>cement was spaced at 24 inches. The<br />
