Summary Approximate expressions are developed for the bearing strength of concrete members loaded through rigid plates. These expressions predict the strengths for some 230 tests in which the loading geometry, the size of specimen, and the type and strength of the concrete were varied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
