Equilibrium-compatibility approach to the determination of the strength of reinforced concrete rectangular beams under combined bending and torsion.... This method... takes account of the initial ultimate moment and twist ratio for determining the failure surface and the strength.

The approach by curvatures is a more direct method than the approach by layers to model concrete structures. In fact, instead of working with the stress-strain laws and integrating these laws over the depth of the structure to obtain the curvatures and the moments, we work directly with non-linear moment-curvature laws. 1, record 4, English, - non%2Dlinear%20moment%2Dcurvature%20law

L'approche par courbures est une approche plus directe que celle par couches pour modéliser des structures en béton. En effet, au lieu de travailler sur des lois contraintes-déformations relatives, puis d'intégrer celles-ci sur l'épaisseur de la structure pour trouver les courbures et les moments, on travaille directement sur des lois moment-courbure non linéaires. 1, record 4, French, - loi%20moment%2Dcourbure%20non%20lin%C3%A9aire
