Abstract:
Every year, ACI Foundation’s Concrete Research Council hosts a request for proposals (RFP) program that awards funding to several concrete research projects. The article describes one of these projects that focused on developing a time-dependent design model capturing the complex reality of how creep and shrinkage phenomena are interconnected.
