When a primary flexural crack forms and crosses the reinforcing steel, the concrete adjacent to the crack slips against the steel. Slip, or bond-slip, is defined as the relative movement […]
EK561
Tension stiffening is only effective if a bond mechanism can transfer a tensile force between the steel and surrounding tensile concrete. The nature of the bond mechanism also changes at […]
EK410
An increase of tensile force in a bolt due to prying action is about 20-33 %.
EK285
The variation in the lever arm along the beam length is small and is never less than the value obtained at the section of maximum bending moment. Thus, it may […]
EK62
Prying action tends to increase the tensile force, called prying force, in the bolts.
