About this Item

The book is in fine condition with some small spotting to edges, x+550p, full of b/w diagrams and graphs. The book shows 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 is the stress of steel. This book offers an understanding of structural concrete behaviour, and illustrates the revision required for improving methods.

About this title

Synopsis

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.
