To　grasp　the　shear　strength　properties　of　reactive　powder　concrete　(RPC)　beams　with　high　strength　stirrup,　through　6　T-shaped　beams　test,　the　shear　strength　test　values　were　obtained.　The　test　values　and　the　theoretical　values　of　the　compression　field　theory　were　compared　and　the　questions　of　applying　the　compression　field　theory　in　the　analysis　and　calculation　of　shear　capacity　for　RPC　beams　were　also　discussed.　The　modified　compression　field　theory　was　proposed　by　considering　the　shear　crack　resistance　improvement　from　the　contribution　of　the　steel　fibers　at　the　diagonal　crack　during　pull　out.　Results　of　the　shear　test　were　also　compared　with　the　plastic　shear　theory,　the　interfacial　bond　shear　strength　theory　and　French　code　specifications.　An　analysis　of　problems　facing　the　existing　theories　and　their　applications　was　also　conducted.　The　analysis　results　and　comparison　conducted　on　the　different　shear　capacity　theories　provided　a　solid　base　for　future　researches　on　the　shear　failure　mechanism　and　further　development　of　shear　capacity　design　models　for　RPC　beams.　©,　2014,　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　of　HEU.　All　right　reserved.
