Deflections of Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-43:1974 standard is a compilation of papers that were presented at the 1974 ACI Spring Convention in San Francisco, California. It was compiled under the sponsorship of ACI Committee 435, "Deflection on Concrete Structures," with the aim of providing current information and the state of the art of deflection calculations.
The standard covers various aspects of deflection evaluation in concrete structures. It includes an overview of the treatment of deflection in different codes, such as the criteria for deflection limitation in reinforced concrete structures. It also covers topics such as the computation of deflections for beams and one-way slabs, the deformation of non-composite and composite prestressed concrete members, and the deflection characteristics of different types of structural concrete beams.
In addition to these topics, the standard also includes papers on simplified deflection computations, short-term deformation of reinforced concrete beams, analysis of deformation in flexural members, and the effect of aggregate grading on deflection parameters. It also addresses specific issues like perforated reinforced concrete floor slabs, shear deflection of reinforced concrete T-beams, and the variability of deflections in precast prestressed concrete beams.
The standard concludes with a bibliography on the deflection of concrete structures, providing a comprehensive list of references for further study and research.
