An analytical model is presented that is capable of predicting the load-deformation response
of reinforced concrete elements subjected to in-plane shear and normal stresses. In the …

A simple, unified method is presented for the shear design of both prestressed concrete
members and nonprestressed concrete members. The method can treat members subjected to …

This paper summarizes the results of over 100 pure shear tests on reinforced concrete panels.
The ACI approach for predicting shear strength as the sum of a diagonal cracking load …

This paper reviews the past 60 years of research on shear behavior with attention paid to the
behavior of beams ranging from shortspan deep beams to members controlled by flexure. …

The recently developed nodified compression field theory provides a unified approach to
the analysis of reinforced concrete elements under general in-plane stres conditions. The …

The current ACI shear design procedures can be very unconservative if applied to large, lightly
reinforced members because these procedures do not recognize that as the size of such …

The diagonal compression field theory for symmetrically reinforced concrete beams
monotonically loaded in shear at sections where flexure is unimportant, is presented. This theory …

Cracked reinforced concrete in compression has been observed to exhibit lower strength and
stiffness than uniaxially compressed concrete. The so‐called compression softening effect …

Shear and torsion design recommendations which are believed to be more rational and
more general than current code provisions are presented. The use of the design …

Eq.(2) makes the relationship betwccnfi-and 81-2]. function of four constants: _fi-’, e,-’, n, and
it. These four constants can all be determined from the actual cylinder stress-strain curve. …
