Concrete Shear strength ??
Concrete Shear strength ??
(OP)
Hi All
I don't know how to calculate the shear strength of circular column of concrete. Base of the column is supported on one half and other half is unsupported. On the top end of collumn axial load is applied but only on the half which is unsupported on the bottom.
Is it possible to quantiffy a shear strength of Portland Cement mixed with water (assume that 38% of water was added)if we do not have any metal reinforcement inside the concrete column?
Another questions relates to the shear strength of bond created by the concrete and the metal surface. How to calculate such a strength?

Which direction are you concerned about for shear - across the column, or longitudinally?

why would someone use a column in that site/situation anyway? You're wasting a huge amount of material...what's the application?

The dimensions of hollow column:
OD 200; ID 100; height 200.
Base of the column i supported on the ring with dim.: OD 200; ID 150.
Axial load applied from top on the OD 150; ID 100.
The column is inside the steel housing, and the iside diameter ID is supported by steel shaft.
This problem can exists in downhole tool after cementation process when space between mechanical parts is filled with liquid concrete.
I tried to find the data for shear strength of concrete but i can find only the compresion and tension strengths.
The next question is about the strength of the bond created by the concrete with steel shaft. Is there any formula describing this strength including the metal surface roughness?
RE: Concrete Shear strength ??
You don't give any units, but assuming that your numbers refer to millimeters, and assuming that you're downhole with adequate confinement, I think your issue is steel on concrete friction. With the aspect ratios you're talking about, I'll bet the concrete plug will slide before it breaks. I don't have any friction numbers at hand right now, but when I do I'll repost (unless somebody beats me to it...)

There is a formula that relates shear modulus to elastic modulus, i.e. the elastic behavior of a material.
HOWEVER, there is NO general formula relating the ULTIMATE (fracture) strengths in tension, compresion, and shear. To find the shear strength of concrete, one must carefully research empirical data for that particular concrete.
