SHEAR FRICTION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS IN SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE
The shear resistance of reinforced concrete members is provided by the shear reinforcement and by the shear capacity of the concrete itself. In cracked concrete the aggregate interlock (the interlock of aggregate particles from one side of the crack with the opposite face to resist shear displacements) defines the shear capacity of the concrete itself. The composition of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is different from conventional vibrated concrete (CVC). The amount of coarse aggregates is significantly lower and an SCC mixture has a larger amount of fine materials (e.g. Fillers). The change in grading of the aggregates could have a significant influence on the aggregate interlock of the material. To study this effect, push-off tests are carried out. Two self-compacting concretes and one CVC are studied. The shear plane of the push-off specimen is 150 x 300 mm or 150 × 200 mm and is reinforced with various diameters of steel bars resulting in reinforcement ratios ranging from 0.45 to 2.68%.It follows that the experimentally determined shear friction of self-compacting concrete is slightly higher than the shear friction of CVC. However the vertical displacement corresponding with the ultimate shear strength is larger.
