In order to improve the shear strength of conventional pre-tensioned spun high strength concrete (PHC) pile, concrete-infilled composite PHC (ICP) pile, a PHC pile reinforced by means of shear reinforcement and infilled concrete, is proposed. Two types of specimens were cast and tested according to KS (Korean Standards) to verify the shear strength enhancement of ICP pile. Based on the test results, it was found that the KS method was not suitable due to causing shear failure of ICP pile. However, shear strength enhancement was clearly verified. The obtained shear strength of the ICP pile was more than twice that of conventional PHC pile. In addition, the shear strength of ICP pile reinforced with longitudinal reinforcement was estimated to be more than 2.5 times greater than that of conventional PHC pile. The allowable shear force of ICP pile, which was determined by the allowable stress design process, indicated a large safety factor of more than 2.9 compared to the test results.

For the prediction of the shear strength of reinforced concrete members subjected to axial force, this paper presents a truss model, Transformation Angle Truss Model (TATM), that can predict the shear behavior of reinforced concrete members subjected to combined actions of shear, axial force, and bending moment. In TATM, as axial compressive stress increases, crack angle decreases and concrete contribution due to the shear resistance of concrete along the crack direction increases in order to consider the effect of the axial force. To verify if the prediction results of TATM have an accuracy and reliability for the shear strength of reinforced concrete members subjected to axial forces, the shear test results of a total of 67 RC members subjected to axial force reported in the technical literatures were collected and compared with TATM and existing analytical models(MCFT RA-STM and FA-STM). As a result of comparing with experimental and theoretical results, the test results was better predicted by TATM with 0.94 in average value of $\tau_{test}/\tau_{ana}$. and $11.2\%$ in coefficient of variation than other truss models. And theoretical results obtained from TATM were not effect by steel capacity ratio, axial force, shear span-to-depth ratio, and compressive steel ratio.

Two-way slabs reinforced with high-performance steels, which have several practical advantages of a reduction of congestion in heavily reinforced members, savings in the cost of labor and repair, the higher corrosion resistance, and a reduction of construction time, were constructed and tested. The influences of the flexural reinforcement ratio, concentrating the reinforcement in the immediate column region, and using steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) in the slab on the punching shear resistance and post-cracking stiffness were investigated, and compared with the punching shear test results of the slabs reinforced with conventional steels and GFRP bars. In addition, the strain distribution of flexural reinforcements and crack control were investigated, and the effective width calculating method for the average flexural reinforcement ratio was estimated. The use of high-performance steel reinforcement increased the punching shear strength of slabs, and decreased the amount of flexural reinforcements. The concentrating the top mat of flexural reinforcement increased the post-cracking stiffness, and showed better strain distribution and crack control. In addition, the use of SFRC showed beneficial effects on the punching shear strength and crack control. It was suggest that the effective width should be changed to larger than 2 times the slab thickness from the column faces.

Reinforced concrete walls subjected to cyclic loading show complicated inelastic behaviors varying with aspect ratio, re-bar detail, and loading condition. In the present study, a macro model for nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete walls was developed. For exact prediction of inelastic flexure-compression and shear behaviors, the macro model of the wall was idealized with longitudinal and diagonal uniaxial elements. The uniaxial elements consist of concrete and re-bars. Simplified cyclic models for concrete and re-bars under uniaxial loading was used. For verification, the proposed model was applied to slender, lowrise, and coupled walls subjected to cyclic loading. The results showed that the proposed method predicted the nonlinear behaviors of the walls with reasonable precision.

The shear behavior of reinforced concrete structure is one of difficult problems that are not clearly identified theoretically despite the efforts of researchers for several years. Since bending and shear strength of hollow slab may decrease due to hollow part inside slab, prediction of such structure performance is very important. Presently the formulas of shear designing standard expressions of each country are formulas by experiment for hollow slab. In this study, the shear behavior of one-way hollow slab by reinforcement ratio were analyzed through experiment to conduct studying on estimation of shear strength, and then shear strength formulas of hollow slab were compared and analyzed.

This paper predicts premature failure load of reinforced concrete beams by epoxy-boned partially steel plates. A parametric study is conducted to estimate premature failure load of beams such as with or without stirrups, unplated length ratio, steel and reinforcement ratio, shear span to depth ratio of reinforcement beam. By results of finite element analysis, it turned out that the unplated length played a dominant role in partially plated beams but reinforcement ratio and shear span to depth ratio effected the premature failure load. The approximate expression with regard to combined design variables is compared with experimental results. It shows closely agreement.

A rational expression, developed to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams, is derived from the relationship between shear and the rate of change of bending moment along a beam coupled with experimental findings for the arch action. The proposed ultimate shear strength equation, arising from analytical premises and then calibrated with experimental data, is a similar form to the ACI 318 equation derived mainly from empirical approach. The proposed equation depends on the concrete compressive strength, amount of longitudinal steel content, and the shear span-to-depth ratio, and rationally reflects the shear resistance mechanism of combined beam action and arch action in reinforced concrete beams. The proposed equation applied to existing test data and the results were compared with those predicted by the ACI 318 equation and the Zsutty's equation.

In order to properly evaluate the shear strength of reinforced concrete circular columns due to the transverse shear reinforcement, the average of fractions of forces generated along the circular transverse hoops across the shear failure plane in the loading direction is calculated. For this, the center-to-center diameter of circular transverse hoops. spacing and the crack angle measured to the column longitudinal axis are considered. Using these variables, an equation representing the effective section area of circular transverse shear steel is proposed. The study result shows that the constant parameter. used for the calculation of the effective section area of circular hoops over the last 10 years, should not universally be applied any more. The use of the constant parameter may not seriously do harm to the evaluation of shear strength for circular columns with non-seismically designed transverse hoop reinforcement, since it gives slightly conservative results. However. for well-confined circular columns with close spacing or circular steel jacketing. it gives about 20% overestimation of the shear capacity contributed by the transverse hoop steel.

This study predicts the structural behavior of RC beams using high strength shear reinforcement and evaluates current design codes restricting the strength of shear reinforcement steel. Under the present design codes, the yield strength of shear reinforcement steel is restricted to 400MPa. In case that use high yield strength reinforcement steel, could incure heavily crack and deflection at the members of structure, and have not verified ductility capacity, fatigue resisting capacity, shear and torsion resisting capacity, anchoring capacity and seismic capacity. To this end, we evaluate structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams using high strength shear reinforcement.
