EK705
In EC2 the limit to the amount of redistribution is related to the ductility characteristics of the reinforcement used: class B or class C reinforcement – 30% class A reinforcement […]
EK645
Some of the strategies to reduce the risk of accidental action include preventing or reducing action from occurring, protecting the building from the effects of the action or ensuring that […]
EK475
The ductility of a material describes the amount of deformation that precedes fracture.
EK442
Usually, when the yield strength of a material is increased through strain hardening, the ductility of the material is reduced.
EK401
The danger of brittle fracture is increased when the ductility of steel is reduced by: suppression of yield deformations, as may be caused by triaxial stressing; the use of relatively […]
EK382
In a fixed connection provided that reasonable load paths are assumed, the ductility of the steel should accommodate any inaccuracy in the load distribution used for analysis. For example, if […]
EK381
Ductility is required for a simply-supported connection.
EK177
The overall behavior of a precast structure depends to a large extent on the behavior of connections. Apart from the design of force transfer between individual units, there should also […]
EK137
Theoretically, a member can only behave linearly while the maximum stress does not exceed the yield stress, and so the presence of residual stresses or stress concentrations will cause early […]
EK129
The steel remains elastic while in linear range, and recovers perfectly on unloading. The limit of the linear elastic behaviour is often closely approximated by the yield stress. Beyond this […]
EK92
The ductility of a metal ensures the structural strength of elements under a load and neutralizes the effect of stress concentration.
EK91
The ability of metals to undergo plastic deformation is called ductility.
