Abstract
Flexural members are widely used in civil engineering shown here as reinforced concrete slabs, beams, stairs, and foundations in Fig. 1.4, retaining walls in Fig. 5.1, and girders, bent caps, and crash barriers in beam bridges in Figs. 5.2 and 5.3. Although flexural members have various section shapes, e.g., rectangular section, T-shaped section, box section, I-shaped section, and channel section, they can generally be categorized into two types according to their mechanical properties: rectangular and T-shaped sections (Figs. 5.4 and 5.5). Circular or ring sections are seldom used in practice.
