Design of Concrete Structures with Stress Fields

Design of Concrete Structures with Stress Fields by Aurello Muttoni, Joseph Schwartz, Bruno Thürlimann.

17 2 STRESS FIELDS FOR SIMPLE STRUCTURES 2. 1 INTRODUCTION In this chapter the behavior and strength of simple structures made of rein­ forced or prestressed concrete is investigated with the aid of stress fields. In particular, the webs and flanges of beams, simple walls, brackets, bracing beams an...
