Limit Analysis And Concrete Plasticity
1st published in 1984, ‘Limit Analysis and Concrete Plasticity explains for advanced design engineers the principles of plasticity theory and its application to the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, providing a thorough understanding of the subject, rather than simply applying current design formulas.
Updated and revised throughout, ‘Limit Analysis and Concrete Plasticity 3rd edition adds –
. Reinforcement design formulas for three
dimensional stress fields that enable design of
solid structures (also suitable for
implementation in computer based lower bound
optimizations).
. Improved explanations of the crack sliding
theory and new solutions for beams with
arbitrary curved shear cracks, continuous beams,
lightly shear reinforced beams and beams with
large axial compression.
. More accurate treatment of and solutions for
beams with circular cross sections
. Applications of crack sliding theory to punching
shear problems
. New solutions that illustrate the implication
of initial cracking on load carrying capacity of
disks.
. Yield condition for the limiting case of
isotropically cracked disks.
The authors also devote an entirely new chapter to a recently developed theory of rigid plastic dynamics for seismic design of concrete structures. In comparison with time history analyses, the new theory is simpler to use and leads to large material savings. In comparison with time history analyses, the new theory is simpler to use and leads to large material savings. With this chapter, plasticity design methods for both statical and dynamical loads are now covered by the book.
