This data sample contains the complete experimental test results of a series of 26 structural tests on keyed shear joints subjected to normal and shear forces. The tests are described in:
"Keyed shear connections with looped U-bars subjected to normal and shear forces
- Part I - Experimental investigation
(https://doi.org/10.1002/suco.202000727)
- Part II - Rigid-plastic modelling of the ultimate capacity (https://doi.org/10.1002/suco.202000728)"
which are published in Structural Concrete.
In the papers, relevant results are presented and selected relations are visualised. The reader is referred to these publications for an in-depth description and explanation of the results.
This sample contains a Read-me.txt file that introduces the format of the dataset and the files included. The data files are supplemented by figures of the relevant load-displacement relationships as an example of how the data can be presented. The data is supplemented with images for the purpose of 2D Digital Image Correlation. A small video of the major strain calculated from the images are also includes for illustrative purposes.
