DEFORMATION IN COMPOSITE STRUCTURES UNDER LOAD-TERM LOADS
Structures carry various types of load during their exploitation. The effects of a longterm load component are significant mainly for the structures in which concrete fulfils its static function. Besides some instant effects; however, there are rheological properties of concrete that manifest themselves under applied forces. Creep, for instance, is time-dependent, and its effects can considerably influence deformation in composite steel and concrete structures.
