OPINION Procedures for Calculating the Shear Response of Reinforced Concrete Elements: A Discussion
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 124, Issue 12
Abstract
This paper demonstrates that the two so-called “conceptual errors” which are claimed to exist in the modified compression field theory are actually conceptual errors about the modified compression field theory.
