Short- and Long-Term Deflection of Concrete Structures

Abstract:

The general concepts of two basic forms of deflection are summarized and the existing calculation theories of deflection are introduced; two cases of concrete structure deflection, which are short-and long-term deflection, are discussed through comparison. Further, the basic theories of deflection calculation and deflection control methods are indicated based on two different cases in this paper.
