6. what is the benefit of coating steel bars with epoxy, is there any disadvantage to that?
7. why the code specify the critical section for shear in beams to be at d from the support?
8. why the code put a limit for maximum shear reinforcements in beams?
9. In beams, the concrete in tension is ignored in calculating the moment capacity, while in calculating the concrete shear capacity, the concrete in tension is included in the calculation of shear capacity, why?
10. In what mechanism the concrete shear capacity is developed?
