Realistic bending stiffness of diaphragm walls for structural analysis: A comparison with the uncracked and totally cracked stiffness for the case of The Waalbrug Nijmegen

For a safe structure design standards mainly emphasize on calculations based on the uncracked and fully cracked stiffness of concrete structures. In the common design practice an uncracked stiffness (EI0) is applied for the SLS and a fully cracked stiffness (EI?) for the ULS, where the reduced stiffness EI? ? 1/3EI0. However, in reality it is...
