Determination of Performance Status for RC Members

Abstract:

The yield status and ultimate status are two very important performance statuses during the loading process of reinforced concrete (RC) members. The yield status and ultimate status can be determined by inspecting the deformation properties of reinforced concrete members. This paper describes four methods to determine the yield status of reinforced concrete members, and three methods to determine the ultimate status of reinforced concrete members. Through these methods, we can understand the mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete members.
