The present doctoral thesis was developed within the framework of
the research project "Deformation Capacity of Structural Concrete".
This project aims at developing a consistent and experimentally
verified theory of the deformation capacity of structural concrete.
Previous work included the development of a theoretical model, the
so-called Tension Chord Model, which allows a comprehensive
description of the load-deforma tion behaviour of tension members
in non-prestressed and prestressed concrete struc tures. The
present work focuses on a new theoretical model, the so-called
Cracked Mem brane Model. For members subjected to in-plane forces
this new model combines the ba sic concepts of the modified
compression field theory and the tension chord model. Crack
spacings and tension stiffening effects in cracked membranes are
determined from first principles and the link to plasticity theory
methods is maintained since equilibrium conditions are formulated
in terms of stresses at the cracks rather than average stresses
between the cracks. The research project "Deformation Capacity of
Structural Concrete" has been funded by the Swiss National Science
Foundation and the Association of the Swiss Cement Pro ducers. This
support is gratefully acknowledged. Zurich, July 1998 Prof. Dr.
Peter Marti Abstract This thesis aims at contributing to a better
understanding of the load-carrying and defor mational behaviour of
structural concrete subjected to in-plane shear and normal forces.
