If the inclined crack starts at the top of an existing flexural crack and propagates into the beam, the crack is referred to as flexural shear crack.
EK279
The critical sections for development of reinforcement in flexural members are: At points of maximum stress. At points where tension bars within the span are terminated or bent. At the […]
EK272
Shrinkage cracks affect the pattern of cracking that is produced by loads in flexural members. When they develop, they form a weak path in the concrete. When load is applied, […]
EK271
There are three types of secondary cracks: shrinkage cracks, secondary flexural cracks and secondary corrosion cracks.
EK242
Ultimate tensile strength of concrete beam in bending is greater than the tensile stress obtained obtained by direct or splitting tests. Flexural strength is expressed in terms of the modulus […]
EK138
In triangulated structures with joint loads, any flexural effects are secondary, and the members can be assumed to act as if pin-jointed.
EK65
Tension stiffening in a flexural member is the additional stiffness provided by the tensile stress in the concrete between primary flexural cracks.
EK61
Prying action results when flexural deformation occurs in the tee flange or angle leg of the connection.
