ACI SP-86:1985 PDF Download

ACI SP-86:1985 is a comprehensive publication that covers various aspects related to deflections in concrete structures. The standard includes reports on temperature-induced deflections and observed deflections of reinforced concrete slab systems, as well as measured and long-term deformations. It also features studies on deflection analysis of cable-stayed segmental prestressed concrete bridges, lateral stiffness characteristics of reinforced concrete frame-wall structures, and rational deformation prediction of prestressed members.

Additionally, the standard provides insight into the deflections of partially prestressed members, waffle slabs, concrete slabs under construction loading, and cracked prestressed concrete members. The publication also explores the probabilistic approach to deflection-controlled reinforced concrete slab design and addresses the deformation and stresses in flanged concrete structures due to temperature differentials. Furthermore, it examines the structural serviceability of concrete structures under dynamic loading conditions.
