title = "Long-term behaviour of composite slabs prestressed with unbonded tendons",
abstract = "Mechanical modelling of post-tensioned steel-concrete composite slabs with unbonded tendons is discussed. The model was added as an option to COMPCAL, a finite element program developed at Ecole polytechnique f{\'e}d{\'e}rale de Lausanne, Switzerland. The work focused on the long-term behaviour of composite slabs in the serviceability limit state. Therefore, special attention was paid to the effects of creep and shrinkage of the concrete, and to those of relaxation of the prestressing steel. As an example, an analysis for a two-span slab was carried out.",
