Design and Construction Practices to Mitigate Cracking

Design and Construction Practices to Mitigate Cracking, ACI SP 204, encompasses a wide range of subjects, including a detailed summary of worldwide provisions for crack control in reinforced and prestressed concrete beams; two-way slabs and circular tanks. It also covers the latest Euro Code provisions, including design examples; early-age thermal cracking; crack mitigation effects of shrinkage-reducing admixtures fibers; repair of cracks; cracking in water-retaining structures; and an overview of the cracking developed during the 1999 earthquake in Turkey.
