Serviceability in structural design ensures a structure's continuous and safe usability under specific loads throughout its lifetime, minimizing issues of excessive flexibility or structural compromise. In reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, cracking and deflection under service loads are key indicators of reliable, long-term performance. With advances in high-strength concrete and computer-aided serviceability designs, today's structures are becoming lighter and more material-efficient, driving the need for precise control over deflection behavior.This book explores the...
