Abstract
When designing large walls for nuclear power plants considering shear and shear friction, it becomes essential to address the utilization of high-strength reinforcements. This consideration is necessary not only to meet the substantial strength requirements but also to improve construction feasibility and cost-effectiveness. While high-strength reinforcement for shear design has been incorporated into American Concrete Institute (ACI) committees, it is important to note that the allowable maximum yield strength for shear-friction reinforcement is currently capped at 420MPa within the design provisions. In this chapter, test results of cyclically loaded short shear walls (hw/l w=0.5 and 0.33) with various grade reinforcements (Grade 420–700MPa) were reviewed to summarize the influence of high-strength reinforcements on the shear-friction strength, particularly focusing on the applicability of high-strength rebars to the shear-friction design. Based on the findings of the existing test results, design recommendations were suggested considering the current design provisions regarding shear friction.
