Abstract: Rules for determining the spacing and widths of both through‐thewall and surface cracks in post‐tensioned concrete containment structures under internal pressure are presented. These involve the construction details and ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a simple, practical, and operational two‐dimensional hypoelastic model for reinforced concrete with emphasis on a new approach for the description of tension stiffening. The tension‐softening behavior ...

Abstract: The construction and testing of a model of a prestressed concrete containment structure is described. The test structure consisted of a reinforced concrete base, cylindrical wall, ring beam and dome built of prestressed ...

Abstract: The geometric nonlinearities in elastic sway frames are examined. Various approximate methods of second‐order analysis for sway frames are reviewed and the conditions limiting the use of these procedures are stated. A ...

Abstract: The geometric nonlinearities in elastic nonsway frames are examined and used to review the rationale and accuracy of the ACI slender column design method. The use of nonsway effective length factors to account for effects ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the behavior of slender reinforced concrete panels, supported along their four sides, and subjected simultaneously to axial and lateral loads. The paper describes the numerical aspect of an ...
