RC beams

Post by robab »

Hi
How model the beams section in RC moment resistance frame ? can we use the Mander Law in beams for increasing the core concrete resistance or the Mander Low is for columns (the members with axial compress force) ?
thanks

If your beams have an axial load I would use Mander's equations to define core
