Ultimate Strength Criteria for Reinforced Concrete
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 126, Issue 1
Abstract
Criteria for ultimate strength of structural members are derived by determining, analytically, the value of extreme compression edge strain that results in a maximum value of moment or load. The rectangular members considered are (a) homogeneous beams, (b) reinforced concrete beams, and (c) eccentrically loaded reinforced concrete columns. In all three cases, ultimate strength so derived is in agreement with tests, and is a function only of the stress at the extreme compression edge and properties of the cross section involved.
