Structures subjected to static and dynamic loading can fail due to diagonal cracking of the structural frame. Design of concrete, steel and timber structures to resist
shearing forces is therefore an important consideration for
the structural engineer. Innovative Shear Design presents a
new, rational and economical design procedure that offers increased protection against shear for all types of structures. The first part of the book describes the internal forces imposed on any flexurally bent member, and goes on to describe how these can interact with external loading forces to cause failure. The author then details the new design approach, and explains how its implementation can prevent cracking and failure for a given load. The book contains numerous practical examples describing optimum design techniques for all types of structure. Innovative Shear Design is an essential reference for structural designers, architects, academics, and researchers. It will also be a key reference text for students of structural design.
