Abstract:
Various failure criterions have been used for the nonlinear analysis of concrete and reinforced concrete
structures. To get more accurate results from the analyses, the selected failure criterion must be
appropriate with the characteristics of problem and the assumptions made in the criterion should
comply with the characteristics of problem. In this study, an experimental investigation was carried out
to determine the cohesion (c) and internal friction angle (ϕ) values, which are in the compressive
strength range of 14.4 MPa ≤ fcm cube ≤ 47.0 MPa (2.03 ksi ≤ fcm cube ≤ 6.82 ksi) that are used in failure
criterions such as Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager preferred in end unit analyses for concrete and
reinforced concrete structures. Tests are performed by using the direct shear test system, which is
designed and produced for this study. Finally, cohesion and internal friction angle were determined
between 2.94 and 12.34 MPa (0.43 and 1.79 ksi) and 29.8 and 41.7 degrees, respectively.
