| Abstract | ||
| This work aims at studying the behavior of concrete T-beams in shear, and comparing this work with existing codes. Forty two T-beams, obtained from the literature, have been studied in this work-32 with stirrups and 10 without. All these beams, with their flanges and part of their stems in compression (i.e. acting truly as T- beams), failed in shear. Existing codes (1-4) do not give any additional strength estimation due to the presence of the flange. Regression analysis led to a proposed design equation for T-beams. To examine the accuracy of the proposed method and the existing methods, statistical analysis [Standard Deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (COV)] of shear failure strength to predicted design value are used. The proposed method gives lower SD and COV values which are 0.194 and 13.79% respectively comparing with the best values of BS method which are 0.358 and 20.58%. | ||
