Concrete Design: U.S. and European Practices
Also Known As:
ACI SP-59:1979 is a compilation of papers presented during an international symposium held by ACI (American Concrete Institute) in celebration of the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976. The symposium aimed to facilitate the exchange of ideas between U.S. and European professionals in the field of concrete design, specifically in relation to the ACI Building Code.
The publication consists of 20 papers organized into sections covering topics such as limit states design, shear and torsion, and special concepts and new applications for prestressed concrete. The papers follow the format of the symposium, providing insights and comparisons between U.S. and European methodologies and approaches.
Some of the specific areas covered in the papers include safety and serviceability provisions, shear and torsional design of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams, design for shear in two-way slabs, fire resistance, partial prestressing design, and special provisions for concrete sea structures and concrete ships.
