Imposed deformation is a special case of loading that gets much less attention than mechanical loading due to external forces. However, imposed deformation can impair the serviceability of structures such as tightness and durability. Imposed deformations are due to shrinkage of concrete and temperature variations. The boundary conditions play an important role when analysing stresses due to imposed deformation. This paper provides an overview.
