Abstract:
What is a recommended method for calculating member properties for cracked and uncracked concrete elements such as shear walls?
ACI 318-11, Section 12.15.6,1 and ACI 318-14, Section 25.5.7.4,2 do not allow lap splices in tension tie members. However, there are no references indicating the origin for these provisions. Can you provide any background?
