Creep and Shrinkage Effects on Steel-Concrete Composite Beams
Predicting the long-term behavior of steel-concrete composite structures is a very complex systems problem, both because obtaining reliable information on material properties related to creep and shrinkage is not straightforward and because it is not easy to clearly determine the correlation …

Minimising Embodied Carbon in Concrete Floors
… as CO2 reduction objectives must be achieved alongside the increasing demand for infrastructure caused by rapid urbanisation. This thesis explores how exploring different design solutions by varying design parameters, analysing alternative construction forms, and optimising shapes can reduce …

Design for Serviceability - A probabilistic approach
… and design codes. Since load history and long-term deformations may have a large influence on serviceability, an advanced finite element model has been developed to estimate the deflections of structural sized timber beams in natural environment. The model is capable to take into account …

An investigation into the effects of early propping removal on the deflection of reinforced concrete beams
… the effects of early propping removal on the longterm deflections of concrete members. This was done by modelling the deflection of a typical reinforced concrete beam at different ages of loading, using three code-based deflection calculation methods. The codes that were used are the South …
