Shear and punching shear in RC and FRC elements
The latest fib Bulletin, number 57, “Shear and punching shear in RC and FRC elements, Workshop proceedings”, is now available for purchase from the fib secretariat.
fib Bulletin 57 is a collection of contributions from a workshop on „Recent developments on shear and punching shear in RC and FRC elements“, held in October 2010 and attended by 72 participants from 12 countries. Shear is one of a few areas of research into fundamentals of the behaviour of concrete structures where contention remains amongst researchers. There is a continuing debate between researchers from a structural perspective and those from a materials or fracture mechanics perspective about the mechanisms that enable the force flow through a concrete member and across cracks.
