CREEP BUCKLING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS /IN GERMAN/

RESULTS OF TESTS ON HINGED CONCRETE COLUMNS UNDER SUSTAINED LOADS ARE DISCUSSED. SPECIAL EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE DISCONTINUOUS CHANGE IN DEFORMATIONS AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE CRACKS OVER THE LENGTH OF THE COLUMN. THE INFLUENCE OF SEVERAL PARAMETERS ON THE DEFLECTIONS IS INVESTIGATED. THEORETICAL LIMITS OF CONFIDENCE FOR THE DEFLECTIONS ARE COMPARED WITH TEST RESULTS. IT IS SHOWN THAT UNCERTAINTIES CONCERNING MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND GEOMETRY ARE VERY IMPORTANT WHEN CONSIDERING COLUMN STABILITY. /TRRL/
