Currently, in precast concrete constructions, precast and cast-in-place concrete with different concrete strengths are used in a composite structural member. However, current design codes are not obvious for calculating the vertical shear strength of PC-CIP composite members using dual concrete strengths. In the present study, shear strength of composite beams using dual concrete compressive strengths (24MPa, 60MPa) was tested. The test variables were the section area ratio of two type concretes, flexural reinforcement ratio, and shear span-to-depth ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
