Abstract:
Describes the essential features of the "modified compression field theory." A group of behavioral models based on these assumptions is presented. The use of these models is illustrated and reference is made to experimental data and to existing design codes. A simple, unified design method for shear that is able to approach both routine and unusual design problems is presented. The method is applicable to both prestressed and nonprestressed concrete members. It treats members subjected to either axial tension or axial
