In this article the results of experimental investigations of reinforced concrete (RC) beams on the shear strength are presented. Tests are performed by the improved methodology with testing every beam twice. All experiments are conducted considering different shear span to effective depth ratio. This makes for establishing the impact of the force application position on the carrying capacity of reinforced concrete beams without transverse reinforcement. The result showed the increase of carrying capacity by 8-10% while reducing the shear span to effective depth ratio from d/a=2 to d/a=1,5 and 18-20% while ratio was d/a=1. Calculations by the current standards in different countries showed low compliance with experiment, which is negative for economic design. Carrying capacity calculation method for reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement considering loading accommodations as proposed and tested. This factor is not taken into account in Ukrainian current norms of reinforced concrete structures designing. The deviation between theoretical calculation by the proposed empirical formula and experimental data is 10% which provides sufficient reliability of the results for future using.
