Abstract
ABSTRACT Response-2000 is a program developed to calculate the shear capacities of beams and columns under any combinations of shear, moment, and axial loads. It is based on the modified compression field theory. The capabilities of the program Response-2000 to obtain shear strength capacities in the existence of axial compressive loads are demonstrated. The comparison with the experimental tests proved that the program gives good estimate for the failure shear in this case. The shear provisions of the Egyptian reinforced concrete code (ECP203-2017) are also evaluated against the experimental results. It is found that the accuracy of the obtained results using Rseponse-2000 is better than those obtained using the shear equations of the Egyptian reinforced concrete code (ECP203-2017). The program Response-2000 is then used to generate 336 results for 7 different cross-sections considering different concrete compressive strengths, transverse reinforcement, and values of axial loads. These generated results along with 33 experimental results for other 7 cross-sections are used to develop a new formula for the shear strength capacity in the existence of axial compressive loads. This formula is found to give better results when verified against experimental data.
