Abstract | ||
The article reports data on, and numerical modelling of, beams exhibiting points of inflectionrnand subjected to sequential loading. Both tests and analysis point to inadequacies in current codes ofrnpractice. An alternative design methodology, which is strongly associated with the notion that contraflexurernpoints should be designed as \"internal supports\", is shown to produce superior performance even though itrnrequires significantly less secondary reinforcement than advocated by codes.rn | ||
