Shear Assessment of Concrete Bridge Deck Slabs

Article Preview

Abstract:

The transitions from old STN standards to Eurocode standards brought several problems into bridge design and assessment. Shear reinforcement is now often required even in concrete members, which were previously allowed to be built without it. Moreover, assessment of existing reinforced concrete bridge structures often shows their insufficiency in shear capacity, which means that they should be strengthened or replaced. Work on new generation of Eurocodes is currently in progress and current model for shear assessment should be replaced by a new (and more precise) one. This paper deals with the problem of shear assessment of concrete bridge according to current standard and also according to the new shear models that are under consideration.
