Effects of Temperature Variations on Safety of Reinforced Concrete Structures During Construction

doi:10.1007/s12204-014-1482-x

Abstract

Abstract: Since 1960s, many research works on the reinforced concrete structure have been published and some concise and practical calculation methods for safety control during construction have been achieved. The reinforced concrete structure during construction is a time-dependent structure which consists of a partly completed structure and a formwork-shore system. Experience shows that the most critical condition of the time-dependent structure may happen when the formwork-shore system is partly removed or reset and accidents may occur. In the present paper, effect of ambient temperature variation between day and night is considered, new structural models for reinforced concrete frames, slab-column systems and shear wall structures are proposed, and a new software named Safety Analysis During Construction Considering Temperature (SACT) is also introduced. Compared with on-site measurements, the software SACT is validated for application on construction site.
