SUMMARY: A Three-Parameter Kinematic Theory for the Shear Behaviour of Con
 tinuous Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams - Evan Bentz\, Associate Professor 
 University of Toronto
DTSTART:20140214T150000Z
DTEND:20140214T160000Z
UID:TALK50689@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Lorna Everett
DESCRIPTION:Recent work at the University of Toronto has resulted in a new
  theory for the shear strength and deformation patterns of cracked reinfor
 ced concrete deep beams both simply supported and continuous.  The primary
  author of this theory is Dr. Boyan Mihaylov\, recently  a post-doc in Tor
 onto and who now teaches at the University of Liege in Belgium.  The basic
 s of the theory will be presented\, detailed comparisons made to experimen
 ts and finally some interesting consequences of the theory will be explore
 d.  This theory attempts to provide an answer to the question of what the 
 appropriate strain profiles in a beam will be when the well-known "plane s
 ections remains plane" theory breaks down.\n
