Catenary action of reinforced concrete beams subjected to missing column scenario

During large deformations of a beam, the system will seek alternate load paths in order to redistribute the load and to achieve equilibrium. The beam first undergoes flexural action before catenary action is activated. Catenary action is the last alternate load path the beam takes to prevent progres...
