Design of Reinforced Concrete Containment Wall Elements Under Combined Combined Action of Shear and Tension

Abstract

Behavioral models are developed for reinforced concrete containment wall panels having orthogonal reinforcement and for those having both orthogonal and diagonal reinforcement. An initial axial tension which causes cracking in the concrete, is applied to the orthogonal reinforcement to simulate the normal membrane stresses induced by an accidental Internal pressure load.
