Shear Ductile Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Beams Subjected to Reversed Cyclic Loading

This paper provides a method to predict the ductile capacity of reinforced concrete beams that fail in shear after flexural yielding. The proposed method takes into account shear strength deterioration in the plastic hinge region of RC beams. The shear contribution of the concrete in the plastic hinge region decreases after flexural yielding of the beam due to a decrease in the effective compressive strength of the concrete. To verify the shear strength and the corresponding ductility of the proposed method, 8 RC beams were tested under reversed cyclic loading.
