Abstract:
Presents a simplified method of ultimate strength design of rectangular or T-sections controlled by tension. Method applies to sections with or without compressive reinforcement for conditions of bending only or bending with axial load. Equations are presented which express first principles and a universal design chart is given. The method conforms to the requirements of ACI 318-56 and incorporates all the limitations prescribed therein.
