Previous research on the shear behavior of steel-reinforced polymer concrete (PC) beams has been very limited and no efficient design procedures have been proposed. In all the previous studies, it was generally assumed that the shear behavior of steel-reinforced PC is similar to the shear behavior of steel-reinforced PC is similar to the shear behavior of steel-reinforced portland cement concrete because both are composite materials consisting of a binder and inorganic aggregates. The objective of this paper is to study the behavior and to develop a design procedure in shear for steel-reinforced PC beams using unsaturated polyester resins based on recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET.
