Abstract:
Short coupling beams are susceptible to brittle shear failures that need to be suppressed with dense transverse and diagonal reinforcement. To reduce the amount of shear reinforcement and improve the service behavior, researchers have proposed a solution with steel fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). However, while this solution is promising, there are no sufficiently simple mechanical models capable of describing the complete shear behavior of short FRC coupling beams. This paper proposes such a model based on first principles: kinematics, equilibrium, and constitutive relationships for the mechanism of shear resistance. The model is compared with tests from the literature and with a significantly more complex finite element model (FEM). It is shown that, while the proposed kinematic approach requires a straightforward input and negligible time for computations, it also provides a similar (or better) accuracy as the FEM with excellent shear strength predictions.
