Shear in sand-lightweight and conventional high strength concrete through the push-off test
abstract: Shear design models in reinforced concrete structures depend on stress transfer through cracks. Such mechanism is influenced by the displacement and roughness of the opposite faces generated during cracking. Shear is reduced when an aggregate particle is fractured leading to a smoother crack as found in lightweight and high strength concrete. This study evaluated the ultimate shear strength of sand-lightweight and conventional high strength concrete as well as the differences in their behavior. Results from Pereira and Soares with 29 push-off test specimens were used. Transverse clamping stress ranged from 4.79 to 12.71 MPa while fcm was 30 and 50 MPa. The experimental results showed significant differences in the concrete studied. A tri-linear model was proposed to calculate the ultimate shear strength. An overall mean value of τu, exp/τu, cal was 0.96.
