Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts

In SI and Customary Units

Anil K. Garg, Ph.D., P.E., S.E.

Single-author volume based on doctoral research conducted at the University of Texas at Arlington. Examines the shear behavior and capacity of precast reinforced concrete box culverts under simulated truck wheel loads, with full-scale experimental testing and finite-element modeling.

Peer-Reviewed Journal Publications

Doctoral research on shear behavior and finite-element analysis of reinforced concrete structures, published in ASCE journals and cited in current academic literature.
