Abstract

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the on shear strength in R/C beams. First, a four-point loading on R/ C beam specimens with a different size was carried out. Test re- sults indicated that shear strengths depend on the size of D!J'v~J...LJ.J."J..l..J.U Furthermore, an effect of variable parameters on shear strength was investigated. In the next place, tested R/ C beam specimens were analyzed by the FE procedure, which incorporated a fracture mechanics, and mechanism causing a size clarified.
