Extracted text: Although we design for flexure separately from shear, both flexure and axial force can have an impact on shear design. Is this statement correct? Explain ? Concrete reaching its maximum design strain rather than the steel reaching its yield strain is what always initiates flexural failure, regardless whether the section is under-reinforced, over- reinforced, or has a balanced reinforcement ratio. Is this a correct statement? justify your answer using a neat sketch. An under-reinforced beam section is safer than an over-reinforced one. Is this a correct statement? justify your answer using a neat sketch 6.
