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.
The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete
structures in particular, requires considerably more information
than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of
structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This
textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the
behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures, both at
service loads and at ultimate loads, and in doing so, provides a
comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of
the text is based on first principles and relies only on the
principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel,
with numerous worked examples. However, where the design
requirements are code specific, this book refers to the provisions
of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600-2009)
and, where possible, the notation is the same as in AS3600-2009. A
parallel volume is written to Eurocode 2, the European Standard for
the Design of Concrete Structures. The text runs from an
introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more
advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits
senior undergraduate and graduate students, and also practising
engineers who want a comprehensive guide to the design of
prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise
explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition, but
the content has been extensively reorganised and considerably
expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures,
actions, and loads; prestressing systems and construction
requirements; and connections and detailing. The topic of
serviceability is developed extensively throughout. The authors
have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of
prestressed concrete structures for more than 35 years, and this
updated edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The
work has also gained much from Ian Gilbe.

Provides Step-by-Step Instruction Structural Analysis: Principles,
Methods and Modelling outlines the fundamentals involved in
analyzing engineering structures, and effectively presents the
derivations used for analytical and numerical formulations. This
text explains practical and relevant concepts, and lays down the
foundation for a solid mathematical background that incorporates
MATLAB (R) (no prior knowledge of MATLAB is necessary), and
includes numerous worked examples. Effectively Analyze Engineering
Structures Divided into four parts, the text focuses on the
analysis of statically determinate structures. It evaluates basic
concepts and procedures, examines the classical methods for the
analysis of statically indeterminate structures, and explores the
stiffness method of analysis that reinforces most computer
applications and commercially available structural analysis
software. In addition, it covers advanced topics that include the
finite element method, structural stability, and problems involving
material nonlinearity. MATLAB (R) files for selected worked
examples are available from the book's website. Resources available
from CRC Press for lecturers adopting the book include: A solutions
manual for all the problems posed in the book Nearly 2000
PowerPoint presentations suitable for use in lectures for each
chapter in the book Revision videos of selected lectures with added
narration Figure slides Structural Analysis: Principles, Methods
and Modelling exposes civil and structural engineering
undergraduates to the essentials of structural analysis, and serves
as a resource for students and practicing professionals in solving
a range of engineering problems.
