A deflection of a RC structure increases when sustained loads are applied in it. In this paper, a parametric study of long-term deflection was performed according to concrete strength, creep coefficient and ratio of sustained load for each design provisions. Results show that a long-term deflection in KSCDC is able to apply an effect of creep using an effective modulus of elasticity.

Floor damping materials used in floating floor system to diminish the floor noise have been made with low density and dynamic stiffness. Owing to this low density and dynamic stiffness, the deflection in these materials under long-term loading and cracking of the floor finishing mortar in the floating floor system may occur. This paper presents the results of long-term loading effects on the deflection of different types of floor damping materials. The experimental program involved the long-term loading tests for 490 days loading period on sixteen specimens. Specimens were classified as DM1(Damping Materials) to DM8, depending upon the four main parameters; types, bottom shapes and densities of floor damping materials and amount of loading. Results indicated that the long-term deflection of all specimens of damping materials remained unchanged after 200 days at all loading amounts, except the specimens made up of Polystrene, in which long-term deflection remained unchanged after 160 days at 250 N load and 100 days 500 N load. In this paper, two types of correlation expressions were shown in the deflection range prior to the range where deflection remained constant; two analyses by ISO 20392 and linear regression. In comparison of two analyses and experimental results on the difference of deflection of 16 specimens, the difference of deflection was below 0.4 mm in those analyses in case of that total deflection was below 10 mm. Restrictively, it was judged that the analysis for the deflection of specimens made up of Polystrene is more appropriate using ISO 20392.

The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the serviceability of two-way hollow core slab with the distinguishingly donut shaped hollow named as GB-SLABTM(Green Ball based lightweight biaxial concrete SLAB) developed by Samsung and patented internationally. One of engineering issues in the long-span concrete slab structure is definitely how to evaluate the long-term deflection considering the cracked section. To evaluate the long-term deflection of GB-SLAB, the immediate deflection after concrete form removal is measured and then the long-term cracked deflection is predicted using finite element analysis

Time dependent material characteristics of concrete affects serviceability and safety due to long term deformation of concrete. Thus, in this paper, the long term behavior of a precast modular bridge by using ACI 209R-92, B3, CEB MC90-99, considering the most influenced factors: creep and shrinkage.

보에 의해 지지되지 않는 RC 플랫 플레이트는 강도 조건이 아닌 사용성의 지배를 받을 수 있다. 특히, 양생 초기의 슬래브에 발생하는 과하중과 인장 균열은 시공 중 플랫 플레이트에 심각한 처짐을 발생시키며, 시공 순서와 슬래브 처짐의 영향은 플랫 플레이트에서 중요한 요소이다. 이 연구에서는 시공단계, 콘크리트의 균열 및 장기처짐 효과를 고려하여 슬래브의 처짐을 산정한다. 제안된 방법을 사용하여 플랫 플레이트의 처짐에 대한 변수연구가 실시되었다. 슬래브의 시공주기, 동바리 지지층수, 인장 및 압축철근, 콘크리트 강도, 시공 활하중, 슬래브 두께를 변수로 하여, 시공 중 즉시처짐과 시공 완료 후 장기처짐에 대하여 조사하였다. 산정 결과는 건축구조설계기준에서 제시된 사용성 제한값과 비교하였다.
