Flexural ductility of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams with maximum reinforcement ratios Universiteit Gent
To examine the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams with maximum reinforcement ratio, several reinforced concrete sections with different rebars are designed and analyzed using OpenSees. It was found that, although reasonable for rebars with yield point, the determination of the relative depth of the rectangular stress block for balanced failure given in the Chinese Concrete Code (GB50010-2010) is somewhat small for rebars without ...
