Shear Behavior of High and Low Strength Reinforced Concrete Beams with Web Reinforcement

전단철근이 있는 고강도와 보통강도 철근콘크리트보의 전단거동에 관한 실험적 연구

Results of an experimental of the shear and flexures strength of doubly reinforced concrete beams were summarized. A total of 24 beams was tested; 4 without web reinforcement and 20 with web reinforcement in the form of vertical stirrups. Main variables were compressive strength of concrete which was 26.88MPa and 63.4MPa, spacing of stirrups which was no-stirrups, 200, 150, 120, 100 and 90mm. Tests results were compared with stength predicted using the equations of ACI 318-89. The shear reinforcement ratio of the beams, which failed simultaneously under both flexures and shear, were 0.66pvmax for low strength concrete beams and 0.56pvmax for high strength concrete beams, respectively. Thus, ACI equations for shear reinforcement were very conservative.
