Abstract
This paper describes the qualitative experimental results and discussions concerning the reinforced concrete beams with high tension shear reinforcement whose 0.2% proof stress is about 13000kgf/cm^2. Fifty two specimens of beams subjected to bending moment and shear force were tested in this experimental study. Loads were applied anti-symmetrically, and the types of loading were monotonic and alternatively reversal. The number of reversal loading were ten times, and the strength at the alternatively reversal load was 21kgf/cm^2 (≒_cσ_B/10). The results of this study provided information about the essential function of high tension shear reinforcement against shear failure and about the factors affecting the ultimate shear strength of reinforced concrete beams with tension shear reinforcement.
