ACI SP-328:2018 PDF Download

ACI SP-328:2018 is a symposium volume that focuses on shear in structural concrete. It contains 14 papers presented at the ACI Convention in 2018, which was sponsored by ACI/ASCE Committee 445 "Shear and Torsion." The papers cover a range of topics related to shear in structural concrete, including the size effect in shear, the Modified Compression Field Theory, shear strengthening using FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) strips, experimental measurements, accounting for shear deformations, sustained loading effects, crack-based assessment of shear, design of concrete offshore structures, behavioral models for coupling beams, finite element modeling of punching shear, and seismic design for shear.

The symposium volume recognizes the contributions of Professor Michael P. Collins from the University of Toronto, who has made significant advancements in rational behavioral models for shear and torsion of structural concrete. It also acknowledges the authors, speakers, and reviewers who contributed to the success of the symposium.

The table of contents provides an overview of the papers included in the volume, with titles such as "Reinforcing Bridge I-Girders using CFRP Shear Strips," "The Toronto Size Effect Series," "The Role of Measurement on our Understanding of Structural Concrete," and "Floating Concrete Structures: The Need for Proper Design."
