Behavior and analysis of inverted T-shaped RC beams under shear and torsion

The 1998 ASCE-ACI Committee 445 on shear and torsion identified researching combined shear and torsion as well as giving physical significance for torsion design as an upcoming challenge (ASCE-ACI Committee 445 on shear and torsion, 1998). Most of the previous experimental studies were focused on reinforced (RC) beams under flexure, shear or torsion. The behavior of inverted T-shaped beams with both web and flange closed stirrups are not fully …
