This paper presents an analytical model to predict the compressive arch action (CAA) of reinforced concrete beam-column subassemblages. In the model, a new method is proposed to quantify the strains of longitudinal reinforcement in the beam. Instead of equivalent rectangular concrete stress block, t...
