An experimental technique for obtaining controlled diagonal tension failure of shear critical reinforced concrete beams
Abstract An energy absorbing ‘stiff’ test facility has been developed for obtaining stable and controlled diagonal tension failure in shear-critical reinforced concrete beams. The test facility allows the monitoring of the complete curve of load versus mid-span deflection (including the post-peak region) of the shear-critical beams. For stiffening the existing test facility and to provide the energy absorption capability, two kinds of test set-up have been developed: the parallel steel beam test set-up and the cross steel beam test set-up. The test set-up with a cross steel beam as the stiffening element is much stiffer than the parallel steel beam test set-up and hence more stable for obtaining a controlled and stable failure even for the higher strengh concrete beams. The results indicate the post-peak branch of the load versus mid-span deflection of the shear-critical high strength concrete beams is relatively steeper than that of normal strength concrete beams.
