Reinforced Concrete Moment Curvature – Development over time

Posted on August 28, 2015 by dougaj4

I recently noticed that in the RC Design Functions spreadsheet the TimeCurve function had stopped working.  The function calculates the development of reinforced concrete section curvature over time, and was previously presented in Reinforced Concrete Moment-Curvature – 3; Restrained Shrinkage and Creep and Reinforced … Continue reading →

Reinforced Concrete Moment-Curvature – 3; Restrained Shrinkage and Creep

Posted on January 23, 2010 by dougaj4

The previous post in this series provided Excel User Defined Functions (UDFs) to find the strain in a concrete section due to unrestrained creep and shrinkage.  In this post the effect of restraint of the creep and shrinkage strains by … Continue reading →
