Excerpt from Tests of Reinforced Concrete T-Beams, Vol. 12: Series of 1906 In the treatment here given, the usual assumptions of beam action noted in Bulletin No. 4 will be made. These include the assumptions that a plane section before bending will remain a plane section after bending and that tensile stresses in the con crete at the section of greatest bending moment may be neglected. The stresses developed in the flange to conserve the plane section will be considered separately. The general treatment will follow that given in Bulletin No. 4 of the University of Illinois Engi neering Experiment Station, under I. Resistance OF beams To flexure, and equations from this source will be quoted without demonstration. The term inclosing rectangle will be used to denote the rectangle inclosing the flange of the T-beam and the stem down to the centroid of the reinforcing bars.
