| | Summary: |
| | This paper analyses the influence of strain hardening on the amount of
calculated reinforcement steel and section strength. It is based on the Eurocode for
design of concrete structures which offeres the choice between a bi-linear design stressstrain curve with a horisontal or an inclined top branch accountng for the strainhardening effect. For this paper, a sample of a locally available reinforcement steel
(B500) has been tested in order to compare its characteristics to the values specified in
the code. A comparisson of section strength and calculated steel area was made for
specific examples of singly and doubly reinforced sections. Based on these examples,
certain conclusions were drawn about the effect of strain hardening on section strength
and calculated steel area, as well as the feasibility of the coresponding stress-straing
diagrams, compared to the traditional ones, where strain hardening is ignored. |
