Abstract:
In response to the longstanding concerns regarding the impracticality of ACI 318 prestressed concrete (PC) one-way shear provisions, rational improvements to the approximate method were discussed. This study addresses new limit conditions reflecting prestress effects and corresponding updates on upper-limit shear strength (Vc). Also, a consistent and straightforward definition of effective depth (dv) and coefficient accounting for longitudinal reinforcement effect (K) were newly introduced. The proposed approximate method was verified through use of an extensive PC shear database to have analytical accuracy and conservatism statistically comparable to the ACI 318-19 approximate provision. In addition, applicability was confirmed through analysis of four
design examples. The proposed modifications are an advisable
alternative to the current approximate method. They provide for simple, economical, and safe PC member design while resolving underlying issues in the current approximate method.
