Elastic Behavior
The change in concrete strain with respect to time will
effect the concrete and steel stresses as follows:

Steel stress
Analysis and Design of
Short Columns
Elastic Behavior
An elastic analysis does not work, because creep and
shrinkage affect the acting concrete compression strain
as follows:
Analysis and Design of
Short Columns
Elastic Behavior
Concrete creeps and shrinks, therefore we can
not calculate the stresses in the steel and concrete
due to acting loads using an elastic analysis.
Analysis and Design of
Short Columns
Elastic Behavior
Therefore, we are not able to calculate the real
stresses in the reinforced concrete column under
acting loads over time. As a result, an allowable
stress design procedure using an elastic analysis
was found to be unacceptable. Reinforced concrete
columns have been designed by a strength method
since the 1940s.
Creep and shrinkage do not affect the strength
of the member.
