Effect of Torsion on Different Types of RC Beams: A Review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research reviews some sources that discuss the application of torsion on reinforced concrete beams, whether these beams are square or rectangular (solid or hollow) or box beams and T-beams. Torsion can affect reinforced concrete in buildings, including curved girders in bridges, balcony girders, and spiral stairways, potentially leading to their direct failure, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, research is focused on studying such types of forces to reduce their impact on buildings and provide greater durability during the operational period of the buildings. The behavior of torsion on the reinforcement in concrete components and the influence of the moment in designs have also been mentioned, along with some previous research by a researcher that discusses the effect of the torsion. In the final part of this research, the equations used by the researchers are mentioned, as well as a comparison between previous studies and the equations of the code that was used in this research.
