Design of Transverse Reinforcement

4 important questions on Design of Transverse Reinforcement

Why is measured capacity of a beam higher than calculated capacity?

- Due to strain hardening of rebar

When is a reinforced concrete member very ductile?

When it is under-reinforced

After flexural tension yields in a lightly reinforced beam, displacements and bending moment resistance increase, what finally causes collapse?

Cracking causes the neutral axis to rise and eventually the stresses will cause crushing of the concrete at the top in compression
