Abstract

As a relatively novel structural form, regionally confined concrete (RCC) has seen limited research and application in beams. This paper investigates the shear performance of RCC beams through experimental studies and a synthesis of existing literature. The shear bearing capacity was calculated using the Technical Specification for Regionally Confined Concrete Structures (hereinafter referred to as the Specification), and the results were compared with experimental data. The findings indicate that RCC enhances shear bearing capacity and improves ductility during shear failure. However, the extent of ductility improvement requires further experimental quantification. Recommendations for future research on RCC beam shear performance are also proposed.
