The configuration of the crack in a high-strength concrete whose strength exceeds 100 N/mm
2 is much smoother than that in normalstrength concrete, and results in a loss of shear-transfer ability across the crack. Tests were performed on RC columns having concrete strength of 40 to 120 N/mm
2, axial load ratios of 0.1 to 0.28, and shear reinforcement ratios of 0.39% to 0.78% in order to study the influence of crack configuration, axial load and shear reinforcement upon the hysteresis characteristics under a cyclic shear loading. With increasing in axial load and decreasing in shear reinforcement, the shear sliding in the smooth crack of high-strength concrete increases and the solidity as a RC member is detracted. As a result, the hysteresis curves of high strength concrete columns with high axial load and little shear reinforcement showed an asymmetric response between positive and negative loading due to the large slippage in a shear crack. FEM analyses have been also carried out to examine the effect of the coefficient of friction when closing shear cracks.
