Analysis of Shear Capacity of Stirrup Corroded RC Beam Based on the Truss-Arch Theory

Abstract:

On the basis of truss-and-arch model and the concrete softening strength criterion under ultimate state, a formula for shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beam with diagonal reinforcement was established and verified. Accordingly, six RC beams with diagonal reinforcement and corroded stirrup were tested along with control group, the tested results were analyzed by liner regression to modify the formula given. Hence a formula for inclined section shear capacity of stirrups corroded RC beam with diagonal reinforcement was proposed and compared with a preceding formula without a consideration of diagonal reinforcement in corroded RC beam .The results showed that the existence of diagonal reinforcing steel bars enhanced the behavior of vertical compression web member in truss institutions, therefore increasing the shear force shared by truss mechanism. The inclination of diagonal web member is a crucial parameter of truss model. As the stirrup corrosion aggravating, the shear bearing capacity of such RC beams does not decrease drastically.
