A Theoretical and Numerical Evaluation On The Ductility of Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members Due To The Effects of Varying Structural Parameters
A Theoretical and Numerical Evaluation On The Ductility of Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members Due To The Effects of Varying Structural Parameters
1 Technical Paper 1
[1] To investigate how the increase or decrease of the structural parameters such as dimensions
of the reinforced concrete member, grade of steel, concrete cover, and steel reinforcements affect
Objectives
the ductility performance of a member;
[2] To determine the interrelation between ductility and flexural strength of a reinforced
concrete member; and
[3] To investigate if there are any other structural parameters that directly influences a member’s
flexural ductility.

33 Part I.
34 A control RC section has a width of 300 mm and a height of 450 mm.
35 It is reinforced with 2-25 mmØ top bars and 3-25 mmØ bottom bars.
36 The specified concrete strength is 35 MPa (C35) and the specified steel
37 yield stress is 420 MPa (Grade 60). The code-specified minimum cover
38 concrete of 40 mm is observed. Assume a transverse reinforcement
39 diameter of 10 mm. Neglect the effect of confinement.
