Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the results of thirty-five shear test.s on twenty pretensioned prestressed concrete 1-beams. The principal variables were the amount of web reinforcement and the shear  span to effective depth ratio. Symmetrical and unsymmetrical concentrated loadings and uniform loadings were used. Web crushing, stirrup fracture, and shear compression failures were obtained. Conservative but realistic agreement was found between the tests results and the new ultimate shear strength provisions of Section 2610, ACI 318-63.
