EK371

Once a web panel has buckled, its capacity to carry additional diagonal compressive stresses is ignored and it is assumed that a new load-carrying mechanism s developed, whereby any additional […]

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 […]

EK98

The action of a reinforced concrete beam in shear is represented by analogous truss in which the longitudinal reinforcement forms the bottom chord, the stirrups are the vertical members and […]
