Shear in RC Beams without Web Reinforcement
Publication: Journal of the Structural Division
Volume 107, Issue 5
Abstract
A summary of a study of the shear strength of nonprestressed reinforced concrete beams is presented, which was aimed at assessing the feasibility of the basic shear stress equation proposed by the former ACI-ASCE Committee 426. The main variable in the study is longitudinal reinforcement ratio. All beams had a shear span/depth ratio of at least 2.0 and contained no shear reinforcement. The data base used in the statistical analysis is comprised of the following: 266 beams reported in the literature, and the results of ten beams which were fabricated and tested as a part of the study. The equation for basic shear stress proposed by ACI-ASCE Committee 426 is compared with linear, bilinear and nonlinear forms developed from the statistical analysis, as well as with the recommendations of other researchers and the provisions of various codes of practice.
