The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
In my previous column, I briefly cited the Short Beam Shear (SBS) test method as a much more attractive interlaminar shear test method than the double-notch shear test method. The primary attraction ...
Innovative use of 2.5 mm steel wires in RC deep beams leads to over 60 % increase in shear strength, providing a viable method for infrastructure enhancement.
