Concrete Structures

This document summarizes a book titled "Concrete Structures - Stresses and Deformations: Analysis and Design for Serviceability/Sustainability". The fourth edition of this book has a new emphasis on designing concrete structures for long-term serviceability and sustainability over 100 years. It contains 70 solved examples and 50 practice problems. The book presents effective methods for analyzing stresses and deformations in concrete structures accounting for creep, shrinkage, and reinforcement relaxation to avoid excessive cracking and deflection over time.

This fourth edition has a new emphasis


on designing for serviceability. It has been
comprehensively updated. It now includes seventy
solved examples and fifty instructive problems
with answers given at the end of the book. An
accompanying website contains design calculation
programs, which require sample data input.
Independent of codes of practice, the book is
universally applicable, and is especially suitable for
practising engineers and graduate students.

Renaud Favre is Emeritus Professor at the Federal


Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland.
He was formerly a Member of Council and Vice
President of fdration internationale du bton
(fib).
Mamdouh Elbadry is Professor of Civil
Engineering at the University of Calgary, Canada
and a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil
Engineering.

Edition

Concrete
Structures

This text presents the most effective analysis


for predicting the true stresses and deflections
of concrete structures, accounting for creep and
shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressed
reinforcement. Sustainability has become a major
requirement in modern structures, to sustain
satisfactory service over a long life. It is not rare to
specify a life span of 100 years for infrastructures
such as bridges. This complete and wide-ranging
study of stresses and deformations of reinforced
and prestressed concrete structures focuses on
design methods for avoiding excessive deflection
and cracking that diminish serviceability.
