BEHAVIOR OF NORMAL AND HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE UNDER COMBINED COMPRESSION-SHEAR LOADING

Eighty solid cylindrical 3 x 9-in. specimens using normal and high-strength concrete were tested under uniaxial compression, shear shear-compression, and compression-shear loadings to determine strength and behavior of concrete under these loading paths. The effects of stress path on the behavior of concrete under combined compression shear were studied. For shear-compression loading, the effect of shear on the compressive stress-strain curves was to reduce the peak stress and to increase the strain corresponding to peak stress, as the magnitude of applied shear increased. A comparison is made of the results of high-strength concretes and those of normal strength concretes. Other conclusions derived from the study are discussed.
