Poisson’s ratio is the ratio of the transverse to the longitudinal strains under axial stress within the elastic range.
EK218
If warping is prevented by rigid supports at the ends of the member, the torsional stiffness is increased and longitudinal tensile and compressive stresses are induced.
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.
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, […]
