• Abstract:
  This project validated the common practice of substituting WWF for plain reinforcing bar shear reinforcement in prestressed concrete beams. The results are already being implemented through TxDOT review and approval of fabricator-submitted shop drawings proposing this substitution. The use of a simplified WWF standard detail developed as part of this project should results in fabrication efficiencies and standardization that create a better final product and a potential for some possible cost savings over conventional reinforcing bars.
