Abstract

In this study, a simple and accurate model equation for prediction of shear strength of reinforce concrete beams without web, reinforcement is proposed based on basic shear transfer mechanism and modified Bazant's size effect law. The proposed equation includes the effects of concrete strength, longitudinal steel ratio, shear span to depth ratio and effective depth. Comparisons with published experimental data indicate that the proposed equation estimates properly the effects of these factors. Among many equations, ACI code equation, Zsutty's equation and Bazant's equation are selected for comparison. As the result, the accuracy of the proposed equation is better than that of any other equations.
