Description

This report presents a consolidated treatment of initial and time-dependent deflection of nonprestressed reinforced concrete members such as simple and continuous beams and one-way and two-way slab systems. It presents the current state of practice of deflection prediction as well as analytical methods for computer use in deflection estimation. Topics include material properties, deflection of reinforced concrete one-way flexural members, deflection of two-way slab systems, and reducing deflection of concrete members.

Keywords:

camber; cracking; creep; curvature; deflection; modulus of rupture; moments of inertia; serviceability; shrinkage; time-dependent deflection.
