The Chapter Skim interface presents what we've algorithmically identified as the most significant single chunk of text within every page in the chapter.
Select key terms on the right to highlight them within pages of the chapter.


From page 100...
... 100 a = distance from loading frame to concentrated crack A = area of concrete section Act = area of cross section between flexural tension face and center of gravity of gross section Afl = ratio of direct tension strength and flexural cracking strength Aps = area of prestressing strand Aps,min. = minimum area of prestressed steel As = area of non-prestressed steel As,min.
From page 101...
... 101 fsu = stress in prestressed steel at failure fu = ultimate stress in mild reinforcement (just before rupture) fy = stress in mild reinforcement at specified yield strain F = applied load GF = fracture energy h = height I = moment of inertia j = internal moment arm ratio jd = distance between centroid of compression zone and tensile force due to post-tensioning KIC = fracture toughness of concrete lpt = length of unbonded prestressed strand L = span length Mcr = cracking moment mcr = theoretical cracking moment (fry/I)
From page 102...
... 102 etl = tension-controlled strain limit in extreme tension steel etm = maximum net tensile strain eu = ultimate strain q1,q2 = rotation of girder on each side of concentrated crack µΔ = displacement ductility r = reinforcement ratio (As/bd) rL = longitudinal reinforcement ratio rmin.
