Abstract
The shear behavior of steel reinforced polymer concrete using resins b ased on recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) plastic waste was analyzed. Testing was done on 25 beams that were reinforced in tension with longitudinal steel bars. Steel fibers were also used in some of the beams. Analyses included modes of failure and the effects of the s hear span-to-depth ratio, reinforcement ratio, compressive and flexura l strength, and steel fibers on the shear strength of the beams.
