When any dimension of web opening exceeds 10% of the minimum dimensions of the panel in which it is placed, the shear capacity of the panel is limited to its […]
EK373
Tension field forces can only develop when an adequate anchorage is provided by the members bounding the panel.
EK372
The behaviour of a girder under an increasing shear load may be divided into the three phases: Unbuckled. The situation prior to buckling when equal tensile and compressive principal stresses […]
EK370
Where vertical stiffeners are specified, they are spaced such that the panel aspect (width to dept) ratio is around 1,2 to 1,6. Where end panels are designed without utilizing the […]
EK175
A strength gain is possible with plates in shear where tension field action is considered. Thin unstiffened plates cannot carry much load after buckling. The critical buckling stress is increased […]
