Implication

Experimental program evaluates shear capacity in RC beams affected by shear reinforcement layout, suggesting design improvements.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how different shear reinforcement layouts affect shear capacity in reinforced concrete beams.
  • Conducted an experimental program with 10 shear tests on RC beams.
  • Utilized a crack-kinematics-based evaluation to analyze shear transfer mechanisms.
  • Assessed the influence of shear reinforcement ratios and degree of enclosure.
  • Supplementary shear reinforcement significantly increases shear capacity for moderate reinforcement ratios.
  • Specimens with sufficient enclosure match ultimate loads of conventionally stirrup-reinforced members.
  • Dowel action of longitudinal tensile reinforcement becomes a major contributor to shear resistance with increased enclosure.
