Code Provisions for Deflection Control in Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-203:2001 standard consists of 11 papers. The objective of this standard is to provide guidelines and provisions for controlling deflection in concrete structures. The standard emphasizes the importance of reviewing deflection-control provisions in codes from other countries and international entities.
Some of the topics covered in the standard include a critical review of ACI code requirements for deflection control, serviceability provisions in the new Eurocode for concrete structure design, UK code requirements for deflection control, Australian code amendments and improvements for deflection calculation and control, and deflection provisions in the draft Brazilian code.
The standard also discusses span/thickness limitations for deflection control, the effect of flange width on beam deflections, deflection prediction for reinforced concrete structures under service load, bending stiffness of concrete flexural members reinforced with high-strength steel, time-dependent deflection and cracking of reinforced concrete flat slabs, and a comparison of beam deflection variability in members using high strength concrete and normal strength concrete.
