AN ANALYTICAL RESEARCH ON MOMENT-CURVATURE AND DESIGN VARIABLES OF R.C. MEMBERS UNDER SIMPLE FLEXURE
Abstract
In this study design variables of reinforced concrete sections under simple flexure will be studied analytically and for that aim a computer program is developed. The variables that influence the behavior of R.C. sections, concrete compression strength, yield strength of steel, tension, compression and transverse steel amount and effect of strength hardening of steel are studied. Developed computer program is using layered modeling technique and capable of taking in to account; crushing of cover and core concrete, strain hardening of steel and effect of confinement on core concrete.
