Abstract:
This article compares some design provisions of international codes to demonstrate the important differences, particularly with the treatment of high-strength concrete (HSC). The provisions that are compared include the upper limits on compressive strength of the concrete, the elastic modulus and modulus of rupture, the minimum amounts of reinforcement for flexure and for shear, the axial load-moment interaction, the concrete contribution to shear, the punching shear resistance, the tension development length, and the column confinement for seismic design.
