Abstract
In this chapter, the qualitative description of the beam behaviour presented in Chap. 2 is transformed into a physical model with behavioural characteristics (such as, for example, crack pattern, internal actions, transfer mechanism of external load to the supports, failure mechanism, etc.) similar to those of a real simply-supported beam at its ultimate limit state. The physical model’s behavioural characteristics form the basis for the development of failure criteria which are shown to be capable of providing realistic predictions of a beam’s load-carrying capacity for all types of behaviour discussed in the preceding chapter.
