DOI: 10.1007/s42107-017-0002-3
Abstract: Researchers using structural analysis software (design software) like SAP2000® state that the plastic hinge length (Lp) can be calculated based on analytical formulae, and is considered constant during the loading procedure. However, this datum varies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2017.10.058
Abstract: Abstract Recent research has shown that reinforced concrete (RC) beams with concrete-to-concrete casting interfaces where plastic hinges are likely to develop, may experience reduced ductility in comparison to similar structural elements casted at once, due… read more here.
