Download or read book Correlation of Shear Design Between AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and AASHTO Guide Specifications for the LRFD Seismic Bridge Design written by David H. Sanders and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents the analytical study of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete columns using both the AASHTO LRFD bridge design specifications and the AASHTO guide specifications for the LRFD seismic bridge design. The study investigates various levels of axial load, transverse reinforcement and longitudinal reinforcement to determine who the two specifications compare. The AASHTO guide specifications for the LRFD seismic bridge design permits the designer to use the AASHTO LRFD bridge design specifications or equations within the AASHTO guide specifications for the LRFD seismic bridge design with predetermined values. [...] A parametrical study was extended to conventional full-scale columns, using both the AASHTO LRFD bridge design specifications and the AASHTO guide specifications for the LRFD seismic bridge design to predict shear strength in order to analyze the direct effects of the parameters on the shear strength predictions."--Abstract
