ACI SP-273

This Special Publication contains 15 papers that were presented at technical sessions sponsored by Joint ACI-ASCE Committee 445, Shear and Torsion, at the 2010 ACI Spring Convention in Chicago, IL. Topics covered in the papers include an introduction to the method, design examples, common problems experienced in real design applications, additional guidance for use the strut-and-tie model (STM), and an assessment of existing requirements.
