Abstract:Shear strength in reinforced concrete (RC) beams, especially in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is a subject of great interest in structural engineering. In the case of beams without transverse reinforcement, the failure is explained based on a predefined crack pattern and kinematics, and the transfer of shear force accomplished through different mechanisms. Among these mechanisms, the aggregate interlock is present in most of the existing shear strength mechanical models in the literature, with d… Show more
