Which consequence results when concentrated loads exceed the shear capacity in reinforced concrete columns lacking adequate stirrups?

💡 Explanation

Shear failure occurs because insufficient stirrups prevent the concrete from handling diagonal tensile stresses; diagonal tension cracking arises from the shear force concentration in the column, therefore leading to cracking rather than increased stiffness or material changes.
