  2. Marcus' method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus'_method

    Marcus's method is a structural analysis used in the design of reinforced concrete slabs.The method was developed by Henri Marcus and described in 1938 in Die Theorie elastischer Gewebe und ihre Anwendung auf die Berechnung biegsamer Platten. [1]

  3. Arching or compressive membrane action in reinforced concrete ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arching_or_Compressive...

    The strength enhancing effects of arching action in reinforced concrete floors were first recognised near the beginning of last century. [1] However, it was not until the full scale destructive load tests by Ockleston [ 2 ] [ 3 ] on the Old Dental Hospital in Johannesburg that the extent of strength enhancement caused by arching action was ...

  4. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]

  5. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

    Pre-tensioned concrete is a variant of prestressed concrete where the tendons are tensioned prior to the concrete being cast. [1]: 25 The concrete bonds to the tendons as it cures, following which the end-anchoring of the tendons is released, and the tendon tension forces are transferred to the concrete as compression by static friction.

  6. Compression member - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_member

    A compression member is a structural element that primarily resists forces, which act to shorten or compress the member along its length. Commonly found in engineering and architectural structures, such as columns , struts , and braces, compression members are designed to withstand loads that push or press on them without buckling or failing.

  7. Modified compression field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Compression_Field...

    The modified compression field theory (MCFT) is a general model for the load-deformation behaviour of two-dimensional cracked reinforced concrete subjected to shear. It models concrete considering concrete stresses in principal directions summed with reinforcing stresses assumed to be only axial.

  8. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    Stamped concrete is an architectural concrete that has a superior surface finish. After a concrete floor has been laid, floor hardeners (can be pigmented) are impregnated on the surface and a mold that may be textured to replicate a stone / brick or even wood is stamped on to give an attractive textured surface finish.

  9. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    An under-reinforced beam is one in which the tension capacity of the tensile reinforcement is smaller than the combined compression capacity of the concrete and the compression steel (under-reinforced at tensile face). When the reinforced concrete element is subject to increasing bending moment, the tension steel yields while the concrete does ...
