Part I of this paper introduces an experimental programme carried out on RC members with thick‐walled hollow circular cross‐sections to study their behaviour under combined bending and shear. The study looked at ultimate resistance and propagation of characteristic crack pattern as well as the shape and behaviour of the failure sections as a function of wall thickness, amount of longitudinal and transverse reinforcement, shear span and axial force. Test results were used to verify a newly developed calculation model describing the behaviour of the members investigated at failure under combined bending and shear. This model will be presented in Part II.
