| Summary: | The shear capacity of reinforced beam concrete was designed to resist the stirrup reinforcement, Vs, and by the concrete itself, Vc. Previous studies of geopolymer concrete show the mechanical properties of this proposed green concrete, yet the structural investigation is infrequently investigated. These studies mostly observed the impact of using alternative binder resources that affect the workability, setting time, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and drying shrinkage. Therefore, this study aims to observe the structural behavior of geopolymer concrete, precisely its shear capacity. Four geopolymer concrete beam types were designed to have shear failure mode when tested using a Universal Testing Machine by four-point load bending method. The results showed that geopolymer concrete has ductile behavior. Comparison between the Vu value of the test results with Vn calculation of nominal cross-sectional capacity according to standard concrete rules in an average of 2.11 higher than the nominal capacity conventionally calculated according to SNI. Two models of linear regression equations for concrete Vc values were created to explore this further. It was found that the presence of a constant increases the value of the coefficient of determination by up to 29% for the Vc equation in geopolymer concrete. In addition, cracking patterns observed with the DIC method using GOM Correlate software also showed that all the beam specimens had failure both in flexure and shear, even though they all are designed in a shear failure state. |
