| Abstract | ||
| This study presents experimental and theoretical investigation of shear behavior of hybrid reinforced concrete I-beams cast monolithically, but, the web is made with concrete differing from concretes of compression and tension flanges. A rational way has been used by replacing (or strengthening) a certain part(s) or layer(s) of I-shaped reinforced concrete beams by steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) or high strength concrete (HSC). Three beams were tested in this investigation and only the concrete type of the web was varied. Experimental results showed that the ultimate shear strengths are increased (15 or 25%), while the reserve shear strength (after diagonal cracking) is increased (6 or 10%) for the tested beams containing SFRC or HSC in the web respectively. Crack arrest mechanism of steel fibers, and high compressive strength of concrete improved the tensile response, limited crack propagation, improved reserve strength and altered the failure mode. So, more safety was obtained. ANSYS finite Element models are used to simulate all tested beams. Three dimensional nonlinear brick element (solid element) was used to model the concrete, while, the steel reinforcement was modeled by discrete bar element. It was found that the general behaviors of the finite element models showed good agreement with observations and data from the experimental tests. | ||
