Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Members Having Different Steel Arrangements

The response of a reinforced concrete element under cyclic shear is characterized by the hysteretic loops of the shear stress-strain curves. Recent tests have shown that the orientation of steel grids in RC shear elements has a strong effect on the "pinching effect" and ductility in the post-yield hysteretic loops. In this paper, four RC elements are considered to study the effect of the steel grid orientation on "pinching effect" and ductility. The presence and absence of the pinching mechanism in the post-yield shear hysteretic loops are studied using the Rotating Angle Softened Truss Model (RA-STM) theory.
