Replication Data for: Investigations on the Shear Load-Bearing Behavior of Functionally Graded Concrete Beams with Mineral Hollow Spheres

The paper describes numerical and experimental investigations of functionally graded concrete beams subjected to three-point bending tests to determine their shear capacity. The data set includes: diagrams/ Values for the load-deformation curve of the numerical simulation used to perform the described mesh study Values for the load-deformation curve of the numerical simulation used to perform the described viscosity study Values for the load-deformation curves of the specimens V1A-V3B compared to the numerical simulation crack_pattern/ Images with the observed crack pattern of each specimen of the three-point bending test at different load stages and at ultimate failure. simulation_input/ Abaqus .inp files that allow the reproduction of the described numerical simulation for different mesh refinements. statistical_evaluation/ Determination of the characteristic value of the shear load-bearing capacity of the specimens according to DIN EN 1990 The experimental data (load-deformation curve V1A-V3B, crack pattern and statistical evaluation) contains measurements from specimens of functionally graded concrete beams where the load and deflection were measured.

Further data (load-deformation curves for comparison with experiments, mesh study & viscosity study, simulation input) contains compilated input files and results from numerical simulations conducted with the FE-Software ABAQUS.
