Structural Beams and Frames
Kinematic assumptions for beams need more elaboration but form the base for the powerful structural beam theory. A beam first of all is characterized by a longitudinal direction with a reference axis and a longitudinal coordinate x. Every reference coordinate x has a cross section with a transverse height coordinate z. This chapter discusses kinematic compatibility and material laws for beams. The cornerstones of structural analysis for beams have been derived from the kinematic relation. Creep leads to increasing deformations of concrete structures regarding the long‐term behavior. This concerns the serviceability of structures with moderate levels of loading. Prestressing applies lateral redirection forces and normal forces on a beam. Dynamic actions on structures may arise from walking pedestrians, vehicular traffic, rotating machines, wind, seismicity, impact, and explosions.
