Compatibility torsion arises in monolithic construction when compatibility of deformation of the connected parts have to be maintained, e.g. edge beams in a normal framed building with slabs and beams […]
EK651
According to Eurocode 2, if the second order effects is taken into account, the equilibrium and resistance should be checked in the deformed state, including effects of cracking, non-linear material […]
EK543
When the pull on the bar is small, high stresses develop near the loaded end of the bar; some slip of the bar occurs as adhesion between the bar and […]
EK466
Expansion or isolation joints are used to help prevent cracking due to the thermal dimension changes in concrete. They usually are placed where there are abrupt changes in thickness, offsets, […]
EK324
Isolation joints around columns should be either circular or diamond shaped. If no isolation joints are used around columns, or if the corners of the isolation joints do not meet […]
EK322
Control (contraction) joints permit slabs shrink without excessive cracking between joints.
EK311
In the design of structural members subjected to torsional moments two possible cases may apply after cracking: The equilibrium torsion case occurs when the torsional moment is required for the […]
EK121
It is assumed that once the torsional shear stress on a section exceeds the value to cause cracking, tension reinforcement in the form of closed links must be provided to […]
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, […]
