REINFORCED CONCRETE SUBJECTED TO REVERSED CYCLIC SHEAR - EXPERIMENTS AND CONSTITUTIVE MODEL

Three reinforced concrete panels were subjected to reversed cyclic pure shear. As the stress state over the panels was approximately uniform, an average stress-versus-average strain response could be measured and from this detailed data on the stresses in the concrete and steel components deduced. The results indicate that if reinforced concrete is subjected to repeated cycles of shear stress at any level above that which causes yield in the weaker reinforcement, it will eventually fail by concrete crushing. This has direct implications for the seismic-resistant design of regions such as beam-column joints. A constitutive model for reinforced concrete subejcted to general membrane loading is proposed.
