The exact effect that each of the basic shear design parameters exerts on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without shear reinforcement (Vc) is still unclear. Previous research on this subject often yielded contradictory results, especially for reinforced high-strength concrete (HSC) beams. Furthermore, by simply adding Vc and the contribution of stirrups Vs to calculate the ultimate shear capacity Vu, current shear design practice assumes that the addition of stirrups does not alter the effect of shear design parameters on Vc. This paper investigates the validity of such a practice. Data on 656 reinforced concrete beams were used to train an artificial neural network model to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams and evaluate the performance of several existing shear strength calculation procedures. A parametric study revealed that the effect of shear reinforcement on the shear strength of RC beams decreases at a higher reinforcement ratio. It was also observed that the concrete contribution to shear resistance, Vc, in RC beams with shear reinforcement is noticeably larger than that in beams without shear reinforcement, and therefore most current shear design procedures provide conservative predictions for the shear strength of RC beams with shear reinforcement.Key words: analysis, artificial intelligence, beam depth, compressive strength, modeling, shear span, shear strength.

In the paper, the influence of longitudinal reinforcement on shear capacity of reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement is discussed. The problem is analyzed on the basis of the author’s own test results and tests results reported in the professional literature. It has been concluded that longitudinal reinforcement has an effect on shear capacity especially in members of shear span-to-depth ratio a/d < 2,5. The test results have also been used to verify standard methods of calculating the shear capacity in reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement given in Eurocode 2, ACI Standard 318 and Model Code 2010.

AbstractFibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is increasingly used for structural purposes owing to its many benefits, especially in terms of improved overall sustainability of FRC structures relative to traditional reinforced concrete (RC). Such increased structural use of FRC requires safe and reliable models for its design in ultimate limit states (ULS). Particularly important are models for shear strength of FRC members without shear resistance due to the potential of brittle failure. The fib Model Code 2010 contains a model for the shear strength of FRC members without shear reinforcement and the same partial factor accepted for RC structures is accepted for FRC elements. This approach, however, is potentially on the unsafe side since the uncertainties of some design-determining mechanical properties of FRC (i.e., residual flexural strength) are larger than those for RC. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive reliability-based calibration of the partial factor γc for the shear design of FRC members without shear reinforcement according to the fib Model Code 2010 model is performed. As a first step, the model error δ is assessed on 332 experimental results. Then, a parametric analysis of 700 cases is performed and a relationship between the target failure probability βR and γc is established. The results demonstrate that the current model together with the prescribed value of γc = 1.50 does not comply with the failure probabilities accepted for the different consequences of failure of FRC members over a 50-year service life. Therefore, changes to the shear resistance model are proposed in order to achieve the target failure probabilities.

Modern design of reinforced concrete structural members for shear is based on the theory of plasticity. This paper is written to contribute to the understanding of the inclination of the concrete strut in the inclined strut model for design of shear reinforcement in beams, which among others are used in Eurocode 2. The problem of inclination of the compression strut in truss model is analysed depending on shear reinforcement ratio and effectiveness ratio of concrete strength for compression. Also the understanding of necessary ductility in steel reinforcing bars is discussed in the paper and especially the needs of tests on translation capacity of the shear failure are here analysed. To explain these problems the paper gives a short introduction to the theory of plasticity of reinforced concrete in shear and the background for the equations, which are used in shear design according to Eurocode 2.
