Discussion: Shear strength of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams using mechanism analysis

摘要

This paper (Yang et al. (2011)) has made a significant contribu-tion to the shear strength prediction of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams. The contributors read the paper with great interest. However, some ratios of measured and predicted shear strength in Table 1 and Figure 8 are incorrect. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the ratios of measured and predicted shear strength using strut-and-tie model based on ACI 318-05 (AC1, 2005) are corrected as 2-01, 1-45 and 0-72, respectively.
