Time-Dependent Behaviour of Concrete Structures (Paperback)

Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive
cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures
that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a
failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations
of concrete in the design of the structure. The serviceability
provisions embodied in codes of practice are relatively crude and,
in some situations, unreliable and do not adequately model the
in-service behaviour of structures. In particular, they fail to
adequately account for the effects of creep and shrinkage of the
concrete. Design for serviceability is complicated by the
non-linear and inelastic behaviour of concrete at service loads.
Providing detailed information, this book helps engineers to
rationally predict the time-varying deformation of concrete
structures under typical in-service conditions. It gives analytical
methods to help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the gradual
change in tension stiffening with time, creep induced deformations
and the load independent strains caused by shrinkage and
temperature changes. The calculation procedures are illustrated
with many worked examples. A vital guide for practising engineers
and advanced students of structural engineering on the design of
concrete structures for serviceability and provides a penetrating
insight into the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced and
prestressed concrete structures.
