BEHAVIOR OF CONTINUOUS UNDER-REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WITH RESPECT TO THE CONCEPTS OF LIMIT DESIGN

THE DEFORMATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SIX CONTINUOUS UNDER- REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WERE STUDIED AS EACH BEAM WAS LOADED TO FAILURE. THEORETICAL EXPRESSIONS, DEVELOPED BY THE AUTHOR AND BY OTHERS, WERE USED TO PREDICT THE ULTIMATE FLEXURAL CAPACITY, THE MOMENT-CURVATURE RELATIONSHIP, AND THE DEFLECTION PRIOR TO COLLAPSE OF EACH TEST BEAM. THESE THEORETICAL VALUES WERE COMPARED WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA. THE RESULTS SUBSTANTIATE, TO SOME DEGREE, THE CONCEPTS OF LIMIT DESIGN AS APPLIED TO REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS. /AUTHOR/
