Lightweight Concrete: Shear Performance
The U.S. Federal Highway Administration has released a report that describes the results of shear tests on high-strength lightweight concrete (LWC) prestressed girders. This report includes a proposed revision to the definition of LWC, a proposed modification factor relevant to LWC structural performance, and a proposed revision to the resistance factor for LWC in shear.
