ULS design of reinforced concrete, AS, ACI and European codes
The previous post in this series compared the results of current and previous Australian Standards, and the ACI 318 code, for the ultimate bending capacity of a rectangular reinforced concrete section, subject to combined bending and axial load. I have now extended … Continue reading

Analysis of RC circular sections – theory and code
The basic tasks involved in analysing the stresses and strains in a reinforced concrete section under combined bending and axial load are: Assuming a horizontal beam with the top of the beam in compression and the bottom in tension Find … Continue reading
