  • Abstract
Effect of varying longitudinal reinforcement ratios on shear behavior of reinforced concrete simply supported beams without web reinforcement was analyzed in this paper, with emphasis on both shear ultimate capacity and failure mode, on the basis of available testing data. Generic laws were thus obtained and codified methods, including ACI Code and China Design Code of Reinforced Concrete Structures, were evaluated as a result.
