Abstract: There is a lack of information about the behavior of cracked concrete subjected to in‐plane sustained shear loading. Tests are conducted on 46 push‐off specimens, each provided with a central crack, widths less than 0.10 ...

Abstract: A theoretical model is presented, analyzing in‐plane sustained shear tests on push‐off specimens, each provided with a central crack. The tests are described by an extended version of Walraven's two‐phase model accounting ...

Abstract: A 55-year-old bridge showed large cracking in the approach bridge caused by restraint of deformation and support settlement. After repair, it was uncertain at which crack width the traffic loads on the bridge should be ...
