Fundamental Study on Shear Capacity in RC Columns(DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND URBAN DESIGN ENGINEERING)

Behaviors of RC columns and mechanisms of failure subjected to shear forces are influenced by experimental factors such as cross section of members, shear reinforcing steel, compressive strength of concrete and others. The purpose of this paper is to propose the shear capacity of RC columns without shear reinforcing steels. As the results of two-face shear experiment, the followings were obtained. The shear capacities of RC columns are obtained mainly by amount and diameter of axial reinforcement, distance of shear reinforcing steels
