High strength concrete beams with combination of links and horizontal web steel as alternative shear reinforcement

Abstract: Equal numbers of high strength and normal strength concrete beams with links and various amounts of horizontal web steel provided at the centre of the cross-section of the members were tested to failure. The rules for estimating the contribution of web reinforcement to the shear resistance have been studied with the help of tests on beams and measurement of stresses in the steel using strain gauges.
