Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete shear walls with rectangular cross section

Shear Area of Reinforced Concrete Circular Cross-section Members

The shear strength of reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement is related to the shear stress carried by the concrete effective shear area. For rectangular sections the effective shear area represents the area corresponding to the effective depth. However, for circular sections this area is not as readily defined. Different empirical proposals have been suggested recently but no ...

Shear strength model of reinforced concrete circular cross-section members

A shear capacity model of reinforced concrete members with circular cross section transversely reinforced with circular hoops has been developed. The proposed model is based on the truss analogy by adding a concrete contribution term to the capacity of the shear reinforcement. An additional deviatoric shear resisting th c curv pres nism ste ved und ctor mechanism of hoops present solely in memb...

Numerical Analysis of Punching Shear Failure of Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Nearly no load bearing behaviour of reinforced concrete members allows such varied interpretations and complex discussions as the shear behaviour. Especially the three-dimensional problem of the punching shear failure of reinforced concrete members is internationally discussed. Nevertheless up to now, there is no unified design approach or even an overall accepted design model. Especially for l...

Development of Shear Capacity Equations for Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beams

The problem of shear is not yet fully understood due to involvement of number of parameters. Designers are extra careful about shear, especially in beams and consequently higher safety factors are used in shear design. Several equations are available in literature to determine the shear capacity of beams, i.e. ACI equation, Zsutty equation and KIM & White equation. To verify the application of ...
