Expert Tip: Concrete shear design based on AASHTO LRFD 4


Findings and remarks 1. We can calculate the feasible crack angle ranges for each εx and vu/f’c combination. θ min corresponds to concrete crush and θ max corresponds to stirrup yielding.

Expert Tip: Concrete shear design based on AASHTO LRFD 3


Optimum crack angle θ From the previous example, we can catch that there are some possible crack angle ranges for the given εx and vu/f’c. N...
