About this document
Size Effects in Plastic Hinges of Reinforced Concrete Members by akreit is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses size effects in plastic hinges of reinforced concrete members. It describes an introductory test series on simply supported slender beams loaded in three-point bending to investigate the effects of member size, reinforcement ratio, and concrete type. A new model is proposed to calculate rotation capacity by considering strain localization in damage zones and implementing fracture mechanics approaches.
