The Structural Engineer, Volume 75, Issue 4, 1997
A new method of predicting the shear strength of the column in a reinforced concrete beam-column joint is developed. The method is assessed using the results of tests on 12 beam-column specimens. D.E. Parker and P.J.M. Bullman
Mr P. Harris (F) (G. Maunsell & Partners Ltd) An aspect of the development that did not receive much attention in the presentation is crowd safety. Could the authors say to what extent this design consideration featured in the development and planning of the three new stands?
A linear partial interaction analysis is applied to determine the deflections at midspan of simply supported composite beams with partial shear connection under dlfSerent cases of loading. The results are presented in a general form and so arranged that these deflections are defined as a ratio of the corresponding deflections of the equivalent fully composite beams. It is found that such an arrangement leads to expressions which have the same numerical values. Consequently, a general design chart is constructed which facilitates the determination of the central deflections of simply supported composite beams with partial shear connection. This chart can be used irrespective of variations in the type of loading, beam geometry or material properties. N. Abdulrazzaq and A.A. Mohammed Ali
