Introduction

C i h di h i l (concrete) remain ) i Certain truths regarding the material ( clear enough.

1. 1 It is a mass material 2. An impressionable one as to surface; 3. It is a material which may be made continuous or monolithic within very wide limits; 4. It is a material which can be chemicalised, coloured or rendered impervious to water; 5. It is a willing material when fresh, fragile when still young, stubborn when old, lacking always in tensile strength old Frank Lloyd Wright Architectural Record 1928

Introduction

Linear

elasticity has been the basis of concrete design for many years => so called working stress design More recently design by the ultimate strength method has been used as a g more rational method that recognises that concrete is inelastic and nonlinear at significant loads.
