Evaluation of Dynamic Shear Resistance of RC Beams Under Rapid Loadings Based on Modified Field Compression Theory

AMORNTHEP SOMRAJ, KAZUNORI FUJIKAKE

Abstract


The aim of this study was to develop an analytical model to estimate the dynamic shear capacity of RC beams which may exhibit diagonal tension failure under impact and blast loadings. Thus, the modified compression field theory has been extended to dynamic loading in this study. The developed analytical model has been applied to the experimental results obtained from rapid loading tests of RC beams. As a result, the developed analytical model has been in good agreement with the experimental results.
