The reverse shear force below the flexural plastic hinge (the hinge at the location above the podium level) may be much larger than the base shear above the flexural hinge, […]

Although tension stiffening has a minor influence on flexural strength, additional stiffness is provided at all sections, except right at the crack, and this has a significant effect in decreasing […]
EK558
Tension stiffening in a flexural member is the additional stiffness provided by the tensile stress in the concrete between primary flexural cracks. The tensile force in the concrete is transferred […]
EK552
Strength and stiffness does not appear to be sensitive to the spacing of the ducts.
EK549
The initial stiffness and strength of the specimen with galvanized steel duct are greater than those with plastic ducts. Reductions in strength relative to the steel duct specimen are 18% […]
EK547
Response of the grouted vertical connectors was similar to the bond response of reinforcing bars in confined concrete. After the adhesion between the grout and the connector is lost, the […]
EK457
The lateral load capacity of a specific pile type can be most effectively increased by increasing the diameter, i.e., the stiffness and lateral-bearing area. Other steps are to improve the […]
EK380
In the beam-column connection the applied moment is transmitted by compression in the lower part of the beam and by the bolts in tension in the upper part. The compression […]

The modulus of elasticity is a measure of stiffness, or the resistance of the material to deformation.
EK186
The distribution of horizontal loads between stability wall elements is generally determined by the position and stiffness of the walls in the structure.
EK66
Although tension stiffening has a minor influence on flexural strength, additional stiffness is provided at all sections, except right at the cracks, and this has a significant effect in decreasing […]
EK65
Tension stiffening in a flexural member is the additional stiffness provided by the tensile stress in the concrete between primary flexural cracks.
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 […]
EK21
In general, a structure is built up from a series of elements, each of which has its own characteristics with regard to action and response. Collectively, the elements contribute to […]
