ON ANCHORING OF THE LONGITUDINAL TENSILE REINFORCEMENT IN REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WITHOUT PRE-STRESSING
The character of oblique cracking is significantly influenced by the method and reliability of anchoring of the longitudinal tensile reinforcement on the hinge support beams. In many experimental researches the lack of anchoring caused the premature destruction of beams along the sloping cracks. Nevertheless, such destruction of a beam along the sloping crack, at the violation of anchoring on the hinge support, should not be referred to the type of destruction under the influence of internal efforts, caused by the external loading.
