REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS UNDER LOAD REVERSALS
A SERIES OF 12 REINFORCED CONCRETE CANTILEVER BEAMS WERE SUBJECTED TO REVERSALS OF OVERLOAD TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF LOAD HISTORY ON THE STRENGTH, DUCTILITY, AND MODE OF FAILURE OF THE BEAMS, THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE SPECIMENS UNDER LOAD REVERSAL WAS INFLUENCED PRIMARILY BY SHEER. CHANGES IN BEAM GEOMETRY OR LOAD HISTORY WHICH REDUCED THE SHEAR FORCE OR INCREASED THE SHEAR CAPACITY OF THE BEAM SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THE ENERGY ABSORBING CAPACITY AND THE NUMBER OF CYCLES TO FAILURE. /AUTHOR/
