- Abstract
- Summaries are provided of papers and discussions presented at the third of three meetings held at the Delft University of Technology. Research related to the analytical modeling of reinforced concrete is addressed, with emphasis on the following topics: fatigue of concrete in tension; long-term tensile strength; creep of concrete in seawater; post-peak cyclic behavior of plain concrete in tension; the bond between concrete and reinforcement; the fracture mechanics of concrete; round-slip relationships for reinforced concrete; and crack shear in concrete. A program of the meeting and list of participants is included. Summaries of the first two meetings are supplied.
