TIME DEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE STEEL-CONCRETE SECTIONS

Two analytical procedures for the time-dependent analysis of composite steel-concrete cross sections and members are presented and compared. The behavior of a typical cross section is calculated, and the effects of both creep and shrinkage are determined using either the age-adjusted effective modulus method or the rate of creep method. The numerical solution procedures usually used to solve such problems are not required as closed form solutions are obtained for each method. The procedures are simple enough for manual calculations and can be used to gain a better picture of the interaction between concrete and steel with time and a better understanding of the in-service behavior of the type of structural member.
