HEADED REINFORCEMENT IN DISTURBED STRAIN REGIONS OF CONCRETE MEMBERS

Disturbed strain regions are areas within a concrete strucutral member where plane sections do not remain plane after the member is deformed. This article describes how headed reinforcement can provide better performance than conventional reinforcement, particularly in disturbed regions of a concrete member with nonlinear strain distribution. Nonlinear strain distributions with deep continuous beams, wall/shell junctions, and anchorage and transition zones are described.
