According to Eurocode 2, if the second order effects is taken into account, the equilibrium and resistance should be checked in the deformed state, including effects of cracking, non-linear material […]

Shear buckling resistance may conveniently be improved by dividing the web into a series of panels by using intermediate vertical stiffeners.
EK605
If no resistance is set up against deformation in the body, then it isknown as a mechanism.
EK604
When a system of loads is applied to an elastic body, it will deform and will show a resistance against deformation. Such a body is known as a structure.
EK510
Cohesion is a measure of the resistance due to intermolecular forces.
EK468
Strategies available for limiting damage arising from accidental actions are: Enhancement of continuity. This strategy consists of the provision of increases in the resistance of the joints of structural members […]
EK297
After diagonal cracks have developed, shear reinforcement augments the shear resistance of a beam, ad a redistribution of internal forces occurs at the cracked section.
EK296
Prior to the formation of diagonal tension cracks, shear reinforcement contributes very little to the shear resistance.
EK295
If shear reinforcement is not provided, shear resistance in reinforced concrete members is developed by a combination of the following mechanisms: Shear resistance of the uncracked concrete. From 20% to […]
EK245
The modulus of elasticity is a measure of stiffness, or the resistance of the material to deformation.
EK239
The concrete specimen under axial compression may fail in shear. Resistance to failure is due to both cohesion and internal friction.
EK166
Shear and bearing joints using close tolerance bolts in fitted holes behave in a similar manner to connections with clearance holes, except that the bolt slips are greatly reduced. Slip […]
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, […]
EK85
The steel sheeting can also be utilized as a structural element itself. Correct detailing of connections between individual cladding sheets (and their connections to the support steelwork) will induce a […]
EK81
Plastic moment is the moment resistance of a fully yielded cross-section, The cross-section must be fully compact to develop its plastic strength. The component plates of a section must not […]
EK51
Vertical pile resistance to lateral loads is a function of both the flexural stiffness of the shaft, the stiffness of the bearing soil in the upper 4D to 6D length […]
