Shear Strength Decay in Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Large Deflection Reversals (NEES-2010-0905)

<p><strong>Title:</strong> Shear Strength Decay in Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Large Deflection Reversals (NEES-2014-0905)</p> <p><br /> <strong>Year Of Curation:</strong> 2014</p> <p><br /> <strong>Description:</strong> This project undertook the investigation of the mode of failure for reinforced concrete columns subjected to several reversals of loading to deflections larger than the yield deflection.  A total of 12 columns were tested in order to emphasize the need to consider the possible reduction in shear strength of reinforced concrete members loaded to deflections which correspond to strains in the concrete compression zone leading to splitting cracks. </p> <p><br /> <strong>Award:</strong> http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0030760</p> <p><br /> <strong>PIs & CoPIs:</strong> Mete Sozen, James Wight</p> <p><br /> <strong>Dates:</strong> January 01, 1973 - August 01, 1973</p> <p><br /> <strong>Organizations:</strong> University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, United States</p> <p><br /> <strong>Facilities:</strong> University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, United States</p> <p><br /> <strong>Sponsor:</strong> NSF - 30760X</p> <p><br /> <strong>Keywords:</strong> shear strength decay,reinforced Concrete</p> <p><br /> <strong>Publications:</strong> "Shear Strength Decay in Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Large Deflection Reversals" <br />  </p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
