Abstract: TWO alternative methods for the time‐dependent analysis of composite steel‐concrete cross sections are presented and compared. Both methods are fully developed and involve solution procedures that ensure compatibility of ...

Abstract: The tensile capacity of concrete is usually neglected when calculating the strength of a reinforced concrete beam or slab, even though concrete continues to carry tensile stress between the cracks due to the transfer of ...

Abstract: The instantaneous and time‐dependent behavior of composite steel‐concrete columns subjected to eccentric axial load is examined analytically. The age‐adjusted effective modulus method is used for the analysis of individual ...

Abstract: The paper presents a method of analysis for the short‐term and timedependent response of slender reinforced concrete columns of circular cross section. The columns are assumed to be pin‐ended and loaded with equal end ...

Abstract: The paper presents the derivation of a theoretical model for the time‐dependent response of simply supported steel‐concrete composite beams. The concrete is modeled on a computer using the age‐adjusted effective modulus ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete slabs typically have relatively small tensile reinforcement ratios and are generally regarded as very ductile structural elements. This is not the case for slabs reinforced with low-ductility welded ...

Abstract: An analytical model of the behavior of continuous composite beams under sustained service loads is described. Each beam consists of a rolled or fabricated steel I-section acting compositely with a reinforced concrete slab ...
