Current Designs Based On: • NCHRP Report 647, “Recommended Design Specifications for Live Load Distribution to Buried Structures”
• “The results of the comparison of predictions from computer models with data from actual field test was often poor; extenuating circumstances are discussed in Section 2.1.3.”

Equation for Beta
Crack Spacing Parameter
Moment at the Location Being Checked for Shear
Crack Spacing Parameter
Add: sxe =
the incorporation of the effect of maximum aggregate size into the crack spacing parameter. The requirement that sxe equal or exceed 12 inches need not apply to slabs.
Limit sxe to 12 inches?

Moment at the Location Being Checked for Shear • Add: • In continuous slabs not containing prestressing, the value of |Mu| for the location being analyzed may be utilized without consideration of the |Mu|min = |Vu – Vp|dv limitation.
Why the Vu x dv requirement? Tension Face
Compression Face

Behavior and Strength in Shear of Beams and Frames Without Web Reinforcement Roger Diaz De Cossio and Chester P. Seiss
“A study of the test results in Table 3 and 4 reveals also that shear capacity is roughly a linear function of tensile steel percentage.”

Why the Minimum Mu?
42
Rigid Rugged Resilient
What Has Been Implied? • The minimum value of sx should be removed, or at least reduced to 5 inches. • Relative Agreement
• The requirement that Mu be not less than Vu*dv should be removed, at least for frames/continuous members • Additional discussion required
