Shear transfer across a single crack in reinforced concrete: Additional detailed tests

This report gives information on additional detailed tests concerning shear transfer across a single reinforced crack in concrete. The bond characteristics of 8mm diameter deformed reinforcing bars have been investigated by means of pull-out tests. The bars were embedded in concrete over a length of 40mm and were tested at three different ages...

Shear transfer across a single crack in plain concrete under sustained loading: Experiments and analysis

This research relates to the behaviour of plain concrete specimens with a single crack subjected to a sustained shear loading. The crack plane is crossed perpendicularly by four steel bars having no bond with the concrete. These bars provide for the restraint stiffness of the crack. The normal stress on the crack plane is measured via strain...

Shear transfer across a single crack in reinforced concrete under sustained loading. Part III: Analysis of experiments

The results of experimental investigations on internally reinforced "pushoff" test specimens, each formed with one central crack and subjected to a constant external shear loading, were analysed. The crack width and the parallel displacement were measured periodically. The experimental variables were: the initial crack width, the reinforcement...

Shear transfer across a single crack in reinforced concrete under sustained loading. Part I: Experiments

The experimental investigation relates to the behaviour of concrete specimens with a single crack under sustained shear loading. The crack plane is crossed perpendicularly by embedded reinforcing bars, each of 8mm diameter. The variables of the tests were the concrete grade, the initial crack width, the shear stress level and the reinforcement...

Gebruik van symbolen: Toepassingen voor betonconstructies

In dit rapport wordt een voorstel gedaan voor het zo consistent mogelijk gebruik van symbolen voor de berekening van bouwconstructies, met name betonconstructies. Aan de hand van bestudeerde recente literatuur, is een lijst opgesteld van de meest gehanteerde symbolen voor grootheden. Deze lijst kan gebruikt worden voor praktische berekeningen ...
