       Notes - general: Abstract: Codes of practice in Britain and elswhere
                        are reviewed in an attempt to determine how specific
                        clauses have evolved since shear in concrete was first
                        studied almost a century ago.  This review  shows that
                        present  design and assessment codes have shortcomings
                        interms of shear checking.  Other analytical methods
                        for the prediction of shear capacity are also
                        documented. From this review it is concluded that, in
                        order to obtain as simple a solution to the problem pf
                        hsear in concrete bridges as possible, an upper-bound
                        plasticity approach is probably sensible for use when
                        ductile failure is expected.
