NCHRP Report 549, Simplified Shear Design of Structural
Concrete Members, contains the findings of research
performed to develop practical equations for design
of shear reinforcement in reinforced and prestressed
concrete bridge girders. Recommended specifications
and commentary plus examples illustrating application of
the specifications were also developed. The results of this
research have been incorporated into the AASHTO LRFD
Bridge Design Specifications.

NCHRP Report 579, Application of LRFD Bridge Design
Specifications to High-Strength Structural Concrete: Shear
Provisions, examines research performed to extend the
applicability of shear design provisions for reinforced
and prestressed concrete structures in the AASHTO LRFD
Bridge Design Specifications to concrete compressive
strengths greater than 10 ksi.
