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 […]
EK560
Tension stiffening influences frame behavior by providing additional bending stiffness within beam and column elements and at beam-column connections.
EK559
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 […]
