Unlike established shear setups, the proposed method uses controlled boundary conditions and a simple specimen to minimise parasitic effects and promote a shear-dominated response. This paper presents a novel experimental setup for evaluating the Mode\u00a0II (in-plane shear, sliding along a crack plane) shear strength of plain high-strength concrete, and establishes the baseline response, validity, and sensitivity of the setup. An experimental programme was conducted on six plain high-strength concrete mixtures (compressive strength\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$f_c \\approx 60$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:msub>\n                              <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                              <mml:mi>c<\/mml:mi>\n                            <\/mml:msub>\n                            <mml:mo>\u2248<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>60<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    \u201380\u00a0MPa) to isolate mix-design effects through controlled variations in mixture parameters. Mixtures were tested under four distinct loading configurations: fully compressed, partial compression, mixed-mode compression, and shear-dominated, to capture the transition from measuring compressive strength to shear strength. Complementary finite-element simulations in ATENA were conducted to investigate how each configuration influences the stress state and to verify the experimentally observed failure modes. Pearson correlation coefficients between configuration-specific peak stresses indicate that the shear-dominated configuration shows weak-to-moderate coupling with the other configurations (\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$r=0.17$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:mi>r<\/mml:mi>\n                            <mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>0.17<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    with fully compressed;\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$r=0.41$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:mi>r<\/mml:mi>\n                            <mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>0.41<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    with partial compression;\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$r=0.36$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:mi>r<\/mml:mi>\n                            <mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>0.36<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    with mixed-mode compression), supporting that its peak response is comparatively distinct from the compression-governed regimes. Comparison with selected shear-strength estimation models based on different setups yielded close agreement in the investigated strength range, with most points for the best-performing models lying within the \u00b115% band and mean absolute error (MAE) values of 0.48\u20131.21\u00a0MPa. Both correlation analysis and analytical comparison support the hypothesis that the proposed setup provides a reliable and practical baseline for isolating shear-dominated response, enabling improved comparison between studies and supporting future standardisation of shear strength testing in concrete.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40069-026-00936-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T22:02:06Z","timestamp":1780437726000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Novel A\u2013A Shear-Test Setup"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1059-5775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayman G.","family":"Abeidi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4729-5048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salem G.","family":"Nehme","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"936_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1173","DOI":"10.1617\/s11527-009-9543-6","volume":"42","author":"G Appa Rao","year":"2009","unstructured":"Appa Rao, G., & Sreenivasa Rao, A.
