Recommendations for the shear assessment of reinforced concrete slab bridges from experiments

Upon assessment of existing reinforced concrete short-span solid slab bridges according to the recently implemented Eurocodes that include more conservative shear capacity provisions and heavier axle loads, a number of these structures were found to be shear-critical. The results from recent experimental research on the shear capacity of slabs...

Shear Capacity of Existing Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges under Traffic Loads

Poster. In the Netherlands, 60% of the existing bridges were built before 1975, while the traffic volumes and loads have increased over time. The results of a first assessment of the existing bridges showed that particularly the shear capacity of reinforced concrete solid slab bridges is often lower than the resulting shear stresses due to dead...
