Abstract
Compared with traditional concrete beams, recycled concrete beams are more prone to cracking and shear failure. Generally, shear failure is a brittle failure and its failure consequences are often very serious. Thus, the shear capacity is an important parameter in the design and testing for beam structures. In this work, the computation method and size effect on shear capacity of recycled concrete beams without stirrups are studied. Four recycled aggregate concrete beams with different sizes are tested by the bending experiment to obtain their ultimate shear capacities. By keeping the shear span ratio unchanged, the variation laws of mechanical parameters such as cracking load, ultimate shear capacity and shear strength for these beam specimens are studied. From the experiment results, it is concluded that the shear capacities of beams with lengths of 740 mm, 1010 mm, 1280 mm and 1550 mm are 86.3 kN, 106 kN, 124.7 kN and 177.7 kN, respectively. The corresponding shear strengths are 6.84 MPa, 5.59 MPa, 4.9 MPa, and 5.56 MPa, respectively. Nine computation formulas of shear capacity in the literature, such as ACI 318M-14, EN 1992-1-1, GB50010-2010 and so on, are used to calculate the shear capacities of these recycled concrete beams for comparison. The comparative study shows that it is feasible to consider the size effect in the computation of shear capacity for the recycled concrete beam.
