Designing for Effects of Creep, Shrinkage, and Temperature in Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-27:1971 standard addresses a crucial aspect of structural engineering. It acknowledges the damaging failures that can occur in structures when designers neglect to consider the effects of creep, shrinkage, and temperature.
The goal of this standard is to merge both laboratory experiments and real-world field experiences to create a practical procedure for estimating the volumetric changes caused by creep, shrinkage, and temperature. The standard recognizes the importance of combining the insights of researchers and design engineers to develop a mathematical procedure that is universally accepted.
The ultimate aim of the ACI SP-27:1971 standard is to provide guidance on how to account for the effects of creep, shrinkage, and temperature in the design process, ensuring that structures are resilient and able to withstand these factors. It emphasizes the significance of considering these effects from the beginning to prevent structural failures and ensure the long-term safety and integrity of concrete structures.
