Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams after Fire

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to research the calculation method of shear capacity for fire-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams, the reason of drop of shear capacity was analyzed from material properties and transfer mechanisms of RC beams after fire. Formulas of shear capacity were suggested for fire-damaged RC beams. Based on test analysis, the values of reduction factors of shear capacity were proposed under concentrated load. The results show that suggested calculation method is capable of predicting shear capacity of fire-damaged RC beams exactly. The values of reduction factors of shear capacity need further experiments research.
