Stress concentration in concrete

ABSTRACT IN carrying out some experimental work in the torsion of hollow concrete box beams, the authors were surprised to discover that the size of the fillet radius at the internal corners

has little or no effect on the strength of the section. That is to say that in practice, although not in theory, there was no measurable stress concentration effect. This point has also

been noted by Turner and Davies1, who tested _T_-beams in torsion with a sharp re-entrant corner. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
