	Summary:
	Results of experimental testing of shear strength of the beams were used to analyze the carrying capacity of beams using the Strut-and-Tie Model (STM). Tests were performed on beams made of normal and high strength concrete. Strain of concrete in the D-region was measured in the experimental test, and the appropriate stresses were calculated. Relationship between stresses that can be used for calculation of capacity of STM elements and strain is examined. The impact of concrete strength classes on the effective strength of STM elements is analyzed.
