High-Strength Reinforced Concrete Deep and Short Beams: Shear Design Equations in North American and UK Practice. Paper

摘要

The authors should be commended for their interesting paper. The discusser has the following comments. As indicated correctly in the paper, ACI 318-95 artificially Separates the shear strength V_n of reinforced concrete deep Beams by splitting shear contribution into two parts: V_c (con- Crete contribution) and V_s (web reinforcement contribution).
