Recent Developments in Deflection Evaluation of Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI SP-161:1996 is a publication that features several papers discussing various aspects of deflection in concrete structures. The papers were reviewed by experts in accordance with ACI review procedures. The aim of this publication is to provide valuable information to designers, constructors, and codifying bodies in improving the long-term deflection behavior and performance of concrete constructed facilities.
The publication includes a table of contents listing the titles of the papers presented. The topics covered in these papers include deflection of a concrete beam and slab roof, minimum thickness requirements in the CEB and ACI codes, analytical representation of flat plate structures under vertical and lateral loads, deflection analysis of reinforced concrete members using the finite element method, the effect of deflection on pounding of reinforced concrete buildings, noncontact deflection measurements in structures using diffraction gratings, load-deformation relationships for high-strength concrete beams reinforced with prestressed prisms, the effect of openings on deflections and strength of reinforced concrete slabs, controlling deflection serviceability using span/depth limits and long-term deflection multipliers for reinforced concrete beams, prediction and control of initial deflection in partially prestressed post-tensioned beams with unbonded tendons, long-term deflections of high-strength concrete beams and one-way slabs, and elastic deflections of concrete slabs reinforced with different types of steel fibers.
This publication provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the evaluation of deflection in concrete structures and offers valuable insights and findings that can be utilized in the design and construction of concrete facilities.
