Concrete & Steel Behavior

Concrete & Steel Summary:

Five Fundamental Properties of Reinforced Concrete (Nilson pg 19.)
  • Reinforced Concrete behavior is based on stress and strain of
  • Internal normal & shear stresses at any section of a member are in equilibrium with effects of external loads.
  • Assume tensile strength is non-existent.
  • Plane sections remain plane
  • Assume perfect bond between steel and concrete.
We can categorize Stress-Strain Behavior of R/C concrete into 5 categories. 
  • Uncracked section
  • Incipient Cracking
  • Cracked Section
  • Yielding of Steel
  • Ultimate Condition
