DESIGNING FOR EFFECTS OF CREEP, SHRINKAGE, AND TEMPERATURE IN CONCRETE STRUCTURES

ON THE ONE HAND, MUCH INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE VOLUMETRIC CHANGES IN LABORATORY SPECIMENS AS AFFECTED BY VARIOUS PARAMETERS. ON THE OTHER, DESIGNERS HAVE CONSIDERABLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE BEHAVIOR (AND MISBEHAVIOR) OF ACTUAL STRUCTURES. THESE ANNOTATED REFERENCES COMBINE INFORMATION FROM THESE SOURCES INTO A WORKING PROCEDURE FOR ESTIMATING THE EFFECTS OF VOLUMETRIC CHANGES. THESE ABSTRACTS OF TEXTBOOKS, BUILDING CODES, THE WORK OF ACI COMMITTEE 318, COMITE EUROPEEN DU BETON, FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE LA PRECONTRAINTE, AND OTHERS ALL DEAL WITH INTRICATE AND HIGHLY DETAILED PROCEDURES FOR PROPERLY PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR GRAVITY LOADS.
