Abstract
The failure of reinforced concrete structures has the
characteristic of the formation of plastic hinges. This
formation depends on the cracks formation, and the
redistribution of forces between the critical sections. One

redistribution of the internal forces within the structure
with respect to the elastic distribution. This inelastic
behaviour had been introduced in the analysis and design of
reinforced concrete structures several years ago. Today
almosL all modern codes of practice for the analysis and
design of reinforced concrete structures admit, to same
extent, the use of the redistribution of the internal forces
in the analysis.
The reintorced concrete continuous beam is one of the
most frequent elements in the design of concrete structures.
