Rigorous slab deflection analysis examples (ACI)
Three alternative methods of allowing for creep and shrinkage in the analysis are investigated.
- Slab Deflection Property Choices
- Method 1: Simplified Event Sequence + Simplified Combined Creep and Shrinkage Allowance
- Method 2: Simplified Event Sequence + Rigorous Creep and Shrinkage Allowance
- Method 3: Detailed Event Sequence + Rigorous Creep and Shrinkage Allowance
- Observations on the Different Methods
- Use of check lines to check deflections
