Abstract | ||
The paper investigates the relationship between the two standard methods of design that are used for dimensioning reinforced concrete rectangular sections subject to simple bending, namely, the flexural strength design method, and the working stress design method. It makes it possible (within certain limitations) to use either method to obtain identical results. It establishes the stress factors to be used in working stress design that would give results equivalent to a specified set of load factors that are adopted by the flexural strength design method, and vice versa. | ||
