EK286
To determine the position of the cutoff or bent points, the moment diagram due to external loading is drawn first. A moment-resistance diagram is also drawn on the same graph, […]
EK283
No bars should be spliced as the same location to avoid a weakness in the concrete section and to avoid the congestion of bars at the same location, which may […]
EK281
When some bars are short, it is necessary to splice them by lapping the bars a sufficient distance to transfer stress through the bond from one bar to the other.
EK123
Where longitudinal bending reinforcement is required, the additional torsional steel area may either be provided by increasing the size of bars provided, or by additional bars.
EK118
A reinforced concrete beam will initially behave elastically throughout, as the applied uniform moment is increased. When the limiting tensile strain for the concrete is reached a crack will form, […]
EK99
The longitudinal tension bars contribute to the shear resistance by their dowelling action and they also help to prevent shear cracks from commencing at small tension cracks. To be effective, […]
