Critique of critical shear crack theory for fib Model Code articles on shear strength and size effect of reinforced concrete beams

The size effect of Muttoni et al.'s critical shear crack theory (CSCT) is shown to be quite close (with differences up to 15%) and asymptotically identical to the energetic size effect law (SEL), which has been extensively verified experimentally and theoretically (and is adopted for the 2019 A...
