Ductility of beam
Ductility of beam
(OP)
Good day!
I'm new to prestressed design and just about to start reading some materials about it.
I started by reveiwing the theories of Reinfored Concrete Beam (RCB) and came accross this question: "Is there a way to quantify the ductility of RCB?"
I understand that increasing As (Area of steel) will make the section less ductile but what is/are the limit/s or figures that can be used to compare the ductility of different sections.
Thanks!

RE: Ductility of beam
Does it mean that a section adopting rho max is more ductile than the one using rho min? but ofcourse

RE: Ductility of beam
First, Yes it is the otherway around for the ductility of beam using rho.
Second, I didnt notice that this thread was under Engineering Spreadsheets.
So I stant corrected twice'
Thanks man'
Cheers!
