Passive confinement refers to compressive stress fields that aregenerated by forces in the mild reinforcement surrounding the anchorage zone of the bar.
EK530
Radial components of the bond forces are resisted by tensile stress rings in the concrete surrounding the bar.
EK427
Where the forces transmitted by fillet welds are relatively small and the structure is not exposed to weather, it may be advantageous to use intermittent welds.
EK419
Care is needed in detailing welded joints of the T and corner type, where restrained weld shrinkage forces are transmitted through the weld into a plate in the through-thickness direction. […]
EK390
The function of a column baseplate is to distribute the column forces to the concrete foundation.
EK174
The central concepts of limit state design are as follows: All the separate conditions that make the structure unfit for use are taken into account. These are the separate limit […]
EK02
The principle of superposition states that when the structure behaves linearly the total deflection caused by forces at any point is the sum of deflection caused by forces acting independently.
