Measurement Report on the Transition between Flexural and Shear Failure on RC Beams without Shear Reinforcement

Abstract

This is a measurement report of the test series on reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforced carried out in Delft University of Technology from April 08, 2015 till July 01, 2016. The target of the research is to investigate the transition of shear failure and bending failure. In this report, the detailed information of the experimental program is given. In addition to that, the main results of each experiment, including the description of each test, a selection of the measurement results are summarised. This report is used as an accompany to support the conclusions and the analysis of the report on the determination of the minimum shear strength before flexural failure, and other researches related to this shear – bending test series.
