Abstract:
h accordance with recent views that have been clearly expressed in the 1954 and 1962 Building Codes of the USSR [ 1], [ 2] ,2 the 1963 recommendations of the CEB, and to some degree in other building codes of the world, the purpose of the calculations described herein is to evaluate whether a structure will attain some limiting state that would render its normal utilization impossible, or improbable. The different limit states are: (1) Failure (Loss of strength, impaired endurance, loss of stability) ; ( 2) excessive deformations; (3) excessive vibrations; or (4) excessive cracking that would reduce the durability or adversely affect the appearance.
