Control of Cracking in Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
ACI 224R-01, Control of Cracking in Concrete Structures, is a standard that addresses the issue of cracking in concrete structures. It aims to provide recommendations and procedures for controlling and minimizing cracking in order to improve the appearance and structural integrity of concrete elements.
The standard covers various causes of cracking, including drying shrinkage, and discusses the long-term effects of cracks on concrete structures. It also includes updated information and revisions from the previous version of the standard, ACI 224R-90.
Some of the updates in ACI 224R-01 include a discussion on fracture mechanics, additional guidance on controlling cracking caused by drying shrinkage, revised crack-width predictive equations, and information on crack control for concrete overlays. Additionally, the standard provides more extensive information on the structural consequences of cracking in mass concrete.
