Technical Paper 5 Effect of shear enhancement on the resistance of an infill deck
Publication Year
2002
Document Status
Withdrawn
Abstract
Relates tests on two concrete specimens to determine if the shear resistance of infill decks increases at short shear spans in a manner analogous to the short shear span enhancement rules for reinforced concrete slabs. If so, the calculated shear resistance could be increased and some bridges constructed as infill decks could have their assessed capacities raised.
