This work considers the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams using granite as coarse
aggregate without shear links. Four reinforced concrete beams were cast and tested to understand
the shear behavior with varying tension reinforcement ratios. The beams were cast in two pairs;
the first pair had a depth of 184mm, a width of 110mm, and a length of 1500mm. The second pair
had a depth of 150mm, a width of 90mm, and a length of 1000mm. The first and second pair of
beams had span-to-depth ratios of 2.46 and 2.35 respectively. All the test specimens were simply
supported and subjected to loading. During the test procedure, some characteristics of the test
specimens under loading such as deflection, crack width, and failure was detected and recorded.
Analysis was carried out on the values recorded based on provisions made by BS 8110. Obtained
values were discussed and conclusions were drawn based on relevant information obtained.
