2011 JAN 5 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "Current code prescriptions allow to evaluaternthe ultimate rotational capacity from hybrid (mechanical-empirical) or empirical formulations,rnfor reinforced concrete (RC) members with ribbed bars and seismically detailed. Thesernformulations can be extended to non-conforming elements, including members with smoothrnbars, by means of correction coefficients calibrated on experimental data," investigators inrnNaples, Italy report.
