Control of Deflection in Concrete Structures 1

Control of Deflection in Concrete Structures

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Design for serviceability is central to the work of struc-tural engineers and code-writing bodies. It is also essential tousers of the structures designed. Increased use of high-strength concrete with reinforcing bars and prestressed rein-forcement, coupled with more precise computer-aided limit-state serviceability designs, has resulted in lighter and morematerial-efficient structural elements and systems. This inturn […]

Bond and Development of Straight Reinforcing Bars in Tension

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description The bond between reinforcing bars and concrete has beenacknowledged as a key to the proper performance of reinforcedconcrete structures for well over 100 years (Hyatt 1877).Much research has been performed during the interveningyears, providing an ever-improving understanding of thisaspect of reinforced concrete behavior. ACI Committee 408issued its first report on the subject in 1966.

Report on High-Strength Concrete

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description The use and definition of high-strength concrete (HSC)has seen a gradual and continuous development over manyyears. In the 1950s, concrete with a compressive strength of5000 psi (34 MPa) was considered high strength. In the1960s, concrete with compressive strengths of 6000 and7500 psi (41 and 52 MPa) were produced commercially. In theearly 1970s, 9000 psi
