Aggregate interlock in lightweight concrete continuous deep beams [PDF]
There are very few, if any, available experimental investigations on aggregate interlock capacity along diagonal cracks in lightweight concrete deep beams. As a result, the shear design provisions including the modification factor of ACI 318-08 and EC 2 for lightweight concrete continuous deep beams are generally developed and validated using normal ...

Shear design of HSC beams with combination of links and horizontal web steel [PDF]
The existing recommendations in Eurocode 2 and the British Code of Practice for the shear design of beams are derived from research conducted essentially on normal-strength concrete (NSC) with cube strengths up to 50 MPa, and it was found that the shear ...

Application of fibre composite grids as reinforcement of foamed PC and GP concrete [PDF]
Cellular concretes cannot be reinforced as easily as traditional ones. Generally porous materials do not ensure sufficient bond of reinforcement; additionally, due to limited amount of aggregate, interlock between aggregate particles and reinforcement ...

Shear Behavior of High Strength Self-Compacting Concrete with Lower Transverse Reinforcement Index
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) generally has lesser coarse aggregate contents and also the maximum size of aggregates is limited as compared to Normal Vibrating Concrete (NVC) for the same class of strength. This results in reduced aggregate interlock in
