Abstract: A refined bending‐analysis model is presented that accurately predicts available experimental results. By means of this model, the relations of the ultimate‐to‐yielding moment ratio versus the longitudinal reinforcement ...

Abstract: A new cracking theory is presented for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) members subjected to uniaxial tension. The theory is developed on the basis of the (actual) nonlinear bond stress‐slip relationship and of the ...

Abstract: For the calculation of the ultimate strain of compressed concrete elements, a procedure is proposed that is based on the limit stability condition of longitudinal reinforcing bars. The analysis model is the one proposed ...

Abstract: The paper presents the analytical solution to the system of differential equations governing behavior of reinforcing‐bar anchorage under generalized excitations. The solution uses a bilinear model for steel and assumes a ...

Abstract: The collapse of reinforced concrete structural elements subjected to compression is linked to the instability of the reinforcement bars. This phenomenon may occur in the longitudinal region between two consecutive hoops, ...

Abstract: The analysis of shear strength of longitudinally reinforced concrete beams, in which a constant shear force acts throughout the shear span, is performed. The shear mechanism is found to be governed by a second order ...
