  Project Summary Report
• Description:
  Cold joints frequently occur in reinforced concrete structures. However, current design provisions offer limited guidance for assessing their effect on load transfer and failure mechanisms, particularly when cold joints intersect critical load paths in disturbed regions. To address this technical gap, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiated Project 0-7117 to investigate the effect of cold joints on the behavior of reinforced concrete structures. The project aimed to develop design guidelines by integrating interface shear behavior of cold joints into the strut-and-tie design framework, explicitly focusing on evaluating the strength of struts intersecting by cold joints.
