Long-term deflections of reinforced concrete members

Abstract

In this paper, an attempt has been made to extend application of the integral constitutive model (proposed by the first author) to long-term deformational analysis of flexural reinforced concrete members. Constitutive relationships for compressive concrete and cracked tensile concrete used in the analysis are presented. The long-term behaviour of compressive concrete was modelled by a modified Hognestad's relationship. [...].
