Record 4 1994-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Concrete
CONT

Unlike concrete, steel thicknesses are unable to take transversal bending forces. It is thus necessary to create a cross beam system, diaphragms and a third beam system, from diaphragm to diaphragm for localized longitudinal bending.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sortes de béton
CONT

Contrairement à ce que l'on obtient avec le béton, ces épaisseurs d'acier sont incapables d'assurer les efforts de flexion transversale. Il est donc nécessaire de créer une poutraison transversale, les entretoises, et une poutraison tertiaire d'entretoise à entretoise pour les flexions locales longitudinales.
