TL;DRAbstract

Full-scale shear tests were performed on two concrete highway bridges constructed in 1980. The purpose of tests was to improve present knowledge by examining the bearing capacity of the bridges, and to study how these big and complex structures act under shear load leading to failure. The test results were compared with the design model in the Swedish ;concrete codes. The intention was also to improve methods of design and analysis in terms of shear capacity of concrete structures
