Special Column on Shear Failure Test and Analysis of Concrete Structures

Shear resistance capacity analysis is a traditional bottleneck problem for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. Along with the use of high performance materials and the geometrical layout optimization of concrete, rebars and other additives, the performance of reinforced concrete components and structures are continuously improved. The testing, modelling and analyzing research works are continuously conducted for the accurate computation and conservative design of the improved concrete components and structures.
