Investigation of Time-Dependent Deflection in Long Span, High Strength, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Beams
… equations were used as inputs to an incremental time step method. The time-dependent change in beam curvature calculated by the time step method was used to calculate theoretical camber using the Moment-Area method. Predicted camber, using inputs from each considered model, was then compared with …

Creep and Shrinkage Effects on Steel-Concrete Composite Beams
… more complicated. While the short-term deflection of composite beams may be easily predicted from fundamental theories of structural mechanics, calculating the long-term deflection is complicated by creep and shrinkage effects on the concrete deck varying over time. There are as yet no …
