Tensile Membrane Action (TMA) is a self-equilibrating mechanism of laterally unrestrained reinforced concrete slabs comprising a tensile net in the central region surrounded by a peripheral compressive ring of concrete. This phenomenon happens in reinforced concrete slabs with the presence of vertic...
