摘要:An experimental study of shear behaviour of reinforced concrete members with solid circular cross sections is presented. The test variables were ratio of longitudinal reinforcement and type of stirrups. The test was carried out on nine beams. Three beams were designed without stirrups, three with closed hoop stirrups, and the other with spiral stirrups. All tested beams were subjected to two-point monotonic loads. The test results showed that all beams without stirrups failed due to the shear force. Beams with hoop or spiral stirrups failed in flexural mode. The flexural capacity of beams with hoops and spiral stirrups was similar but the beams with spiral stirrups showed a slightly higher ductility. Analytical predictions showed that the chosen numerical model predicted the test result with good accuracy.
