Abstract:

In order to investigate the influence of shear span ratio on the initiation and propagation of cracks in reinforced concrete beam, according to Code for Design of Concrete Structures, a group of reinforced concrete beams with shear span ratios of 4.0, 3.0, 2.5 and 2.0 were designed. Through the digital image correlation (Digital image correlation, DIC) technology, the whole process of crack initiation and evolution was captured for the reinforced concrete beam components under the monotonic loading. The distribution and width of the cracks in RC beams were reproduced in different loading levels. The test results are compared with the calculated values by the use of major design codes. The results show that the DIC technology is a realistic test observation method; the distribution of cracks has a very important relationship with the shear span ratio, and the larger cracks of the test beam are mainly distributed in the pure bending section. At the same time, the position and width of the cracks are almost evenly distributed within the pure bending section. This is basically consistent with the crack calculation formula given in major design codes.

Key words: structural engineering, DIC technology, reinforced concrete beam, crack, shear-span ratio
