Bending Load-Carrying Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Beams Subjected to Premature Failure

This paper investigates the ultimate flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams when affected by premature failure due to a rotational capacity of the first plastic hinge being consumed before the last plastic hinges reach their maximum possible moment. The paper provides a simple formula for pr...
