| description abstract | The shear failure of reinforced concrete beams is a very complex fracture phenomenon for which a purely mathematical approach is not possible at present. However, detailed modeling of the fracture mechanism is not necessary for establishing the general form of the size effect. The first part of this paper shows that the general approximate mathematical form of the size effect law to be calibrated by experimental data can be deduced from two facts: (1) the failure is caused by cohesive (or quasibrittle) fracture propagation; and (2) the maximum load is attained only after large fracture growth (rather than at fracture initiation). Simple dimensional analysis yields the asymptotic properties of size effect, which are characterized by: (1) a constant beam shear strength | |
