Abstract:
Concrete structural design is relatively simple if all materials are assumed to be linear elastic. In this case, the transformed-section method can be used. However, this linear elastic assumption is not always accepted. For example, ACI 318-89 clause 10.2.7 describes a rectangular stress block for concrete, and clause 18.3.2 describes concrete that is linear elastic, but cracked.
