ACI SP-76:1982 PDF Download

ACI SP-76:1982 is a collection of 19 papers that focus on the effects of creep and shrinkage in concrete structures. The papers aim to provide practical insights for designers and researchers in this field. The topics covered in these papers include volume changes, time-dependent slab deflections, long-term prestress losses prediction, creep strains, stress redistribution in reinforced concrete columns, time-dependent forces analysis in continuous concrete structures, stress redistribution in cable-stayed concrete structures, drying shrinkage of high-strength concrete with superplasticizer, and deflection of prestressed concrete beams.

One notable inclusion in the book is a report from the ACI Committee on Creep and Shrinkage (209R-82). This report reviews different methods for predicting creep, shrinkage, and temperature effects in concrete structures. The aim of these methods is to simplify the prediction of material response and analyze the structural response under service conditions.
