| Abstract | This investigation deals with the study of the influence of cracking on the short-time deflections of reinforced concrete beams. The analysis is based on idealized elastic-perfectly plastic stress strain curves for both the concrete and steel. A bi-linear moment curvature curve is derived which takes into account the uncrack and crack behavior of the beam. This simplified· moment-curvature curve is used in predicting the short-time deflections of reinforced concrete beams in flexure. The theoretical results obtained are compared with previously published experimental values and the comparison was found to be very satisfactory. The proposed expressions are also compared with the existing AC! and CEB recommendations. |
