Product Description:
A review of available experimental data on the behaviour of concrete at both the material and structural levels reveals the unavoidable development of triaxial stress conditions prior to failure which dictate the collapse and ductility of structural concrete members; moreover - and in contrast with widely-accepted tenets - it can be shown that the post peak-stress behaviour of concrete as a material is realistically described by a complete and immediate loss of load-carrying capacity. Therefore, rational analysis and design of concrete components in accordance with the currently-prevailing limit-state philosophy requires the use of triaxial material data consistent with the notion of a fully-brittle material, and such an approach is implemented in this book by outlining a finite-element for the prediction of the strength, deformation, and cracking patterns of arbitrary structural forms encompassing plain, reinforced, and prestressed concrete members." Structural concrete: Finite-Element Analysis for Limit-State Design" contains numerous worked examples which show both the unifying generality of the proposed approach and the reliability of the ensuing computer package for which the sole input is the specified cylinder strength of concrete and the yield stress of steel. This book not only offers a better phenomenological understanding of structural concrete behaviour but also illustrates, by means of suitable examples, the type of revision required for improving design methods in terms of both safety and economy.
