Shear Span

To investigate the influence of shear span ratio for the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beam with HRBF500 high strength rebars as stirrups, an experiment was carried out, which included 8 simply supported beams with HRBF500 rebars as stirrups. Under concentrated loads, the crack, deflection, strain of rebars, bearing capacity and failure mode are observed under different shear span ratios. Some comparisons are made between test results and calculated outcome. It shows that the shear span ratio has very important influent on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beam with HRBF500 high strength bars as stirrups. Formula in code for design of concrete structures can be used to calculate its shear capacity with enough safety.
