Experimental Study on the Shear Behavior of Bolted Concrete Blocks with Oblique Shear Test

Experimental Investigation on Shear Cracking Behavior in Reinforced Concrete Beams with Shear Reinforcement

This paper presents an experimental investigation to clarify shear cracking behavior of reinforced concrete beams. The effects of the various influential parameters on the spacing between shear cracks and the relationship between shear crack width and stirrup strain at the intersection with shear cracks were carefully investigated. It was found that shear crack width proportionally increases wi...

Experimental Study on Shear Behavior of Mid-rise Assembled Monolithic Concrete Shear Walls with Varying Axial Compression Ratio

The result showed that the brittle failure was extinct, and the new-type shear walls had good deformability whose ductility factors were over 4.3. The axial compression ratio had significant influence on the mechanical properties of the new-type shear walls. As the increscent of the axial compression ratio, the shear capacity and initial stiffness were improved, but the energy-dissipating capac...

Experimental Study on Flexural Behavior of Precast Concrete Shear Walls with Vertical Joint

Effect of type and distribution of shear studs on the behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls

In this research in-plane shear Behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls was investigated considering the Effects of steel plates thickness, spaces between shear studs, shape and type of shear studs and existing of minimum reinforcement in wall section. Several finite element models were analyzed and Numerical results of two models were taken under verification with existent experimenta...

Experimental Study on Mechanical Behavior of Shear Connectors of Square Concrete Filled Steel Tube

In order to quantitatively evaluate the shear-bearing capacity of shear connectors of square concrete filled steel tube (CFST), push-out tests on 14 square CFSTs with shear connectors have been carried out. Among the 14 CFSTs, there are 13 specimens with steel plate connectors and one specimen with steel bar connectors. The following factors are investigated to figure out their influences on th...
