Abstract In this thesis a simplified method to determine lthe torsiona capacity and the torque--twist relationship for reinforced concrete rectangular section is presented. This method is based on substituting of a solid reinforced concrete section by a hollow section. This arises from the fact that most of the torsional stresses and consequently the torsional resistance is provided by the narrow band of the outer fibers of the sections. Equations for the strength and the stiffness were derived for reinforced concrete sections and the results were compared. Remarkable agreement exists between the theoretical and the experimental results for both the solid and the hollow sections. |
