The cantilevers were tested under 4, 2 and 1 concentrated loads simulating traffic wheels. Neither of the tests attained the theoretical yield-line failure load. A brittle shear failure was observed for all tests.shear forcebétoncrack closurecomportement statiqueessaivalidation / calpunchingslabvariable actionroad bridgetraffic loadeffort tranchantdalletraficyield linetestreinforced concreteshear strengthmodel validation / calibrationvalidation / calibration de modèlescharge de traficbéton arméstructural behaviourtraffictest resultrésistance à l'effort tranchantrésultat d’essaisaction variableligne de rupturepoinçonnementfermeture des fissuresfissurationconcretepont routiercrack growthtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
