First published in 1984, Limit Analysis and Concrete Plasticity
explains for advanced design engineers the principles of plasticity
theory and its application to the design of reinforced and
prestressed concrete structures, providing a thorough understanding
of the subject, rather than simply applying current design
formulas.
Updated and revised throughout, Limit Analysis and Concrete
Plasticity, Third Edition adds
- Reinforcement design formulas for three-dimensional stress
fields that enable design of solid structures (also suitable for
implementation in computer-based lower bound optimizations)
- Improved explanations of the crack sliding theory and new
solutions for beams with arbitrary curved shear cracks, continuous
beams, lightly shear reinforced beams and beams with large axial
compression
- More accurate treatment of and solutions for beams with
circular cross-section
- Applications of crack sliding theory to punching shear
problems
- New solutions that illustrate the implication of initial
cracking on load-carrying capacity of disks
- Yield condition for the limiting case of isotropically cracked
disk
The authors also devote an entirely new chapter to a recently
developed theory of rigid-plastic dynamics for seismic design of
concrete structures. In comparison with time-history analyses, the
new theory is simpler to use and leads to large material savings.
With this chapter, plasticity design methods for both statical and
dynamical loads are now covered by the book.
