TLDR
In this paper, an extensive test program for the investigation of the SHEAR RESISTANCE of reinforced CONCRETE beams was carried out and the results of these tests led to the classification of SHEAR FAILURES into four basic models: DIAGONAL TENSION, SHEARING, SHARING COMPRESSION, and WEB CRUSHING.
Abstract
AN EXTENSIVE TEST PROGRAM FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF THE SHEAR RESISTANCE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WAS CARRIED OUT. SIXTY-THREE T, I, AND RECTANGULAR BEAMS WITH VARYING CROSS SECTION, WEB REINFORCEMENT, LONGITUDINAL REINFORCEMENT, CONCRETE STRENGTH, AND SHEAR SPAN WERE TESTED. STUDY OF THESE AND OTHER RESULTS LEAD TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF SHEAR FAILURES INTO FOUR BASIC MODES. THESE MODES ARE DESCRIBED AND EQUATIONS DEVELOPED FOR THE CALCULATION OF COLLAPSE LOADS FOR FAILURES BY DIAGONAL TENSION, SHEARING, SHEAR COMPRESSION, AND WEB CRUSHING. THE ULTIMATE LOAD IN A GIVEN CASE IS INTRINSIC TO THE FAILURE MODE CORRESPONDING TO THE LEAST STRENGHT AFTER DIAGONAL CRACKING. A FORMULA FOR CALCULATING SHEAR CRACK WIDTHS IS PRESENTED. /AUTHOR/

Experimental analysis of longitudinal shear between the web and flanges of T-beams made of fibre-reinforced concrete

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental results of 13 T-beams mounted on two supports subjected to two central loads are presented, where the experimental data confirm an increase in longitudinal shear strength caused by adding steel fibres to concrete.

Predicting the Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Support Vector Machine

TL;DR: In this article, a support vector machine (SVM) was used to predict the ultimate shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with transverse reinforcements, and the relative performance of the SVMs' predicted results were compared to ACI building code and artificial neural network (ANNs) on the same data sets.

Alternative Cracking Shear Strength Equation for Reinforced Concrete Normal Beams without Stirrups

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and improved design procedure in shear for reinforced concrete normal members without shear reinforcement (stirrups) using the techniques of dimensional analysis and multiple regression analysis is presented.

A method of calculating the shear resistance of reinforced slabs and beams of autoclaved aerated concrete

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed semi-empirical methods of calculating the ultimate shearing strength of aerated concrete slabs without web reinforcement as well as the loads resulting in diagonal cracks and shear failure.
