Examples for the Design of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Members Under Torsion
Also Known As:
ACI SP-344:2020 is a special publication that focuses on the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members under torsion. It provides practical design examples according to different concrete bridge and building codes. The publication includes papers that cover the current state of the art on torsion in structural concrete and recent advances in the analysis and design of concrete elements failing in torsion.
The main objectives of this publication are to provide practicing engineers with the necessary tools to understand and design concrete elements for torsion. It addresses the need for more comprehensive guidance on torsion design, as engineering education often only covers simplified textbook examples. The practical design examples in this publication showcase applications in bridges and buildings, where torsion design is combined with flexure and shear design. It also provides insights into the different outcomes when using different bridge and building codes.
The publication features contributions from an international group of authors, representing a variety of building and bridge codes from countries such as the United States, Canada, Ecuador, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic. The authors include perspectives from both academia and the industry.
