The necessity of creating a general methodology for concrete and reinforced concrete elements strength calculation under the shear is established. Three failure cases of reinforced concrete corbels under the shear are considered. The solutions of problems of corbels strength with failure along the whole section, close to the normal, in the compressed zone under an inclined crack and within the compressed inclined strip are given. A variational method in the plasticity theory, the virtual velocities principle and the characteristic lines method are used for concrete and reinforced concrete elements calculations. In the ultimate state, concrete is considered as a rigid-plastic body. The shear is realized in case when the plastic deformation is localized in the compressed zone. The calculating ultimate load results for different failure cases are given. Such a design scheme is implemented, in which the console strength is minimal. This corresponds to the minimum of power of plastic deformation in concrete compressed zone. Reinforced concrete corbels calculation engineering methods are offered. The elements obtaining effective constructive decisions direction based on the plasticity theory use is determined.
