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 […]

If the beam was statically indeterminate, the plastic hinge does not reduce it to a mechanism, and it can support any additional load. This additional load causes a redistribution of […]
EK142
High local stress concentrations are not usually important in ductile materials under static loading situations, because the local yielding resulting form these concentrations causes a favorable redistribution of stress.
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 […]
