Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
the shear capacity of concrete beams and slabs depends on adequate anchorage of the main longitudinal reinforcement. In the design of new construction this is ensured by satisfying simple rules-of-thumb. In the assessment of the capacity of existing bridges similar rules-of-thumb have been put forward. However some bridges have been found not to comply and in these cases there is an absence of guidance by which designers can assess a reduced shear capacity. This proposal aims to provide a design method which will allow the calculation of the shear capacity of a concrete member with any anchorage length or detail. This will produce economies by eliminating unnecessary replacement and strengthening of bridges or load restrictions.
