DIAGONAL COMPRESSIVE CAPACITY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WITH WIDE STIRRUP SPACING

A comparative study of Bamboo reinforced concrete beams using different stirrup materials for rural construction

This study aims at exploring ways of making the use of bamboo reinforced concrete beams simple, efficient and cost-effective for rural construction with Ghana as a case study. It is a comparative study of bamboo reinforced concrete beams with shear links made of different materials. The web materials considered were bamboo, rattan cane and steel. Sixteen (16) beams were tested to failure under ...

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 ...

plastic hinge rotation capacity of reinforced concrete beams

a parametric study is performed to assess the influence of the tension reinforcement index, ( ω = ρ fy /f bc), and the bending moment distribution (loading type) on the ultimate deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (rc) beams. the analytical results for 15 simply supported beams with different amounts of tension reinforcement ratio under three different loading conditions are pres...
