Concrete Structures: Stresses and Deformations: Analysis and Design for Sustainability, Fourth Edition

This text presents the most effective analysis for predicting the true stresses and deflections of concrete structures, accounting for creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressed reinforcement. Sustainability has become a major requirement in modern structures, which need to sustain satisfactory service over a longer life. It is not rare to specify a life span of 100 years for infrastructure such as bridges. This complete and wide-ranging study of stresses and deformations of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures focuses on design methods for avoiding the deflections and cracking that diminish serviceability.\nThis fourth edition has a new emphasis on designing for serviceability. It has been comprehensively updated. It now includes 65 solved examples and more than 45 instructive problems with answers given at the end of the book. An accompanying website contains design calculation programs, which allow interactive data input. Independent of codes of practice, the book is universally applicable, and is especially suitable for practising engineers and graduate students.

A revised edition of this complete course in structural analysis from undergraduate work on theory of structures up to more advanced work for the senior student and practising engineer. New sections review the basic mechanics of statically determinate structures, deal with structural symmetry and expand on the analysis of the effects of temperature and prestressing. The coverage of the finite element method and the use of computers in structural analysis has been totally rewritten and expanded by the addition of two new chapters.

Structural Analysis a Unified Classical

Routledge

Concrete structures must be designed both to be safe against failure and to perform satisfactorily in use. This book concentrates on design methods for checking the main serviceability requirements of control of deflections and cracking in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.

Concrete structures: Stresses and deformations

Chapman and Hall

Concrete Structures: Stresses and Deformations: Analysis and Design for Serviceability, Third Edition

Concrete structures must be designed not only to be safe against failure but also to perform satisfactorily in use. This book is written for practising engineers and students, and focuses on design methods for checking deflections and cracking which can affect the serviceability of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. The authors present accurate and easy-to-apply methods of analysing immediate and long-term stresses and deformations. These methods allow designers to account for variations of concrete properties from project to project and from country to country, making the book universally applicable. Comprehensively updated, this third edition of Concrete Structures also includes four new chapters covering such topics as: non-linear analysis of plane frames, design for serviceability of prestressed concrete, serviceability of members reinforced with fibre polymer bars, and the analysis of time-dependent internal forces with linear computer programs that are routinely used by structural designers. A website accompanies the book, featuring three design calculation programs related to stresses in cracked sections, creep coefficients and time-dependent analysis. The book contains numerous examples, some of which are worked out in the SI units and others in the Imperial units. The input data and the main results are given in both SI and Imperial units. The book is not tied to any specific code, although the latest American and European codes of practice are covered in the appendices.
