This paper discusses the influence of transverse reinforcement spacing and support width of concrete wide beam on shear performance. In order to evaluate the shear performance, a total of thirteen specimens were constructed and tested. The transverse reinforcement spacing, the number of legs and support width were considered as variables. From the test results, the shear strength equation of concrete wide beam is proposed for prediction of shear strength of concrete wide beam to consider the transverse reinforcement spacing and support width. It is shown that the proposed equation is able to predict shear strength reasonably well for concrete wide beam.
This paper is for to propose the shear strength equation by using results of former researchers like as Lubell et al.(2008) and Kim et al.(2016). Support width was chosen as the variables and experiment was conducted. Proposed equation was estimated accurately and safely rather than Lubell’s proposal.
