Abstract
Shear failure of reinforced concrete members is a complex process, which depends on a huge number of different factors. It is less investigated compared to other types of failure. Modern numerical methods, including finite-element method, allow predicting complex behavior of different structures when loaded. This article deals with the detailed nonlinear analysis of the shear failure of the reinforced concrete beam, using Drucker-Prager yield criterion. The results generated based on the finite-element model, developed in ANSYS software, were compared to the results of a laboratory experiment. In addition, the main advantages and disadvantages of this approach were described.
Highlights
From year to year in building field there is a tendency for a constant increase of the volume of construction work along with significant complication of structural decisions

Summary
From year to year in building field there is a tendency for a constant increase of the volume of construction work along with significant complication of structural decisions. The failure process of the flexural reinforced concrete structures is well described and studied unlike the shear failure, that despite the huge variety of different experiments and investigations [3,4,5] is not well researched, which is causing ineffective calculation methods in the building codes of practices [6,7,8,9,10,11]. Another approach, which allow predicting the behavior of construction under the load is using the finite-element method.
