Abstract: The inelastic behavior of tee‐beam sections at exterior reinforced concrete beam‐column connections subjected to earthquake loading is investigated using a three‐dimensional truss analog. This model accounts for the spatial ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of reinforced concrete slab‐beam sections is investigated for the case where the slab is in tension. To describe the behavior of the cross section, the traditional kinematic assumption that plane ...

Abstract: A simple model to account for the contribution of slabs to the strength and stiffness of beams under negative bending at a beamcolumn connection is proposed. In the model, the slab is assumed to act as a tensile membrane ...
