Abstract
This study aims to develop a shear strength model for steel fiber reinforced-prestressed concrete (SFR-PSC) beams. The dual potential capacity model (DPCM) was adopted to consider the shear resistant mechanisms of the compression and cracked tension zones at the critical section, and its formulations were modified to address the synergistic effect of prestress and steel fibers. In the proposed model, the shear demands to be resisted by the cracked tension and intact compression zones, respectively, were estimated based on the equilibrium conditions, and their corresponding potential shear capacity curves were also defined. It is assumed in the proposed method that the shear strength of SFR-PSC member is dominated by a specific shear resistance mechanism whose shear demand curve reaches the limit state (i.e., corresponding potential shear capacity curve) earlier than another one. For the verification of the proposed method, experimental results collected from literature were compared with those estimated by the proposed model.Keywords
