Formula finder - concrete structures

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in modern construction and at the same time it is possibly the most complicated material. Concrete is not just concrete, it is a wide-ranging eld of science embracing several branches of interesting research elds. This publication is a collection of formulas and procedures related to the estimation of the structural behavior of concrete structures and it may be used to calculate common structural members made of concrete materials.

The majority of this collection of formulas is a translation from the Danish version "Find formlen - Betonkonstruktioner", repeating the main part of the formulas andgures. However, the content is updated to more rm and consistent descriptions and some minor misconceptions are corrected. Furthermore, the chapter on Prestressed Concrete is added to widen the applicability of the Formula Finder to a more wide perspective within civil engineering structures. In general the terms, symbols, and formulas are based on Eurocode 2, DS/EN 1992-1-1. For any matters of dispute readers are referred to this work. However the notation in the prestressed concrete chapter is adapted from the course material currently used in the advanced concrete course taught at DTU. The list of symbols claries any disagreements.
