Description
Summary:Characteristics of the process of diagonal cracking have been studied and their evaluation based on the experimental investigation of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams subjected to short term load with unloading has been carried out. The relations between shear deformations and the characteristics of cracking are explained in the paper. The relationship between the reversible part of diagonal crack opening density and the diagonal crack opening density immediately before unloading is also presented.
