Abstract
The inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete structures has been recognized for a long time (l,19), while related research efforts extended over half a century (4,8,21) have clarified an important number of problems. Yet, despite the abundance of available theoretical and experimental data, the wide adoption of inelastic concepts in structural design remains a rather elusive goal. This is illustrated by the modest use of these concepts in the elaboration of structural norms and standards for the design of reinforced concrete structures.
