| Abstract: |
One way to increase the structural robustness is to take into account membrane action effects in beams and slabs. This membrane action generates an additional load transfer to neighbouring supports, which can considerably increase the load-carrying capacity of the member under consideration. However, the effect of membrane action on commonly used robustness indicators is still unknown. In previous contributions of the authors, a numerical model for reinforced concrete slabs and beams under large deformations was developed and validated. In this contribution, a framework is developed in order to incorporate this numerical model in the analysis of a simple concrete frame in case of column loss, in order to assess the influence of membrane action on commonly used robustness indicators. |
