اقرأ أكثرDeformation of a structure due to a sustained load is known as concrete creep. Concrete can alter shape if it is subjected to prolonged strain or stress. This deformation occurs most often in the direction of the applied force. A concrete column compressing or a beam bending are examples of this. Concrete does not always fail or break down as a ...

It is normally taken as 0.15 for strength design and 0.2 for serviceability criteria. 9. Durability of concrete. Durability of concrete is its ability to resist its disintegration and decay. One of the chief characteristics influencing ...
اقرأ أكثر3. Concrete has Low Toughness. Ability of a material to consume impact energy is called toughness. It is the area under the load displacement curve. Another limitation of concrete is that compared to steel, the concrete has significantly low toughness. Toughness of concrete is only 1-2% of steel.
