Abstract:
To reduce costs and minimize construction schedules for the recent light rail extension in the Phoenix, AZ, USA metropolitan area, track slabs and platform plinths were constructed using fiber-reinforced concrete instead of traditional steel-reinforced concrete. For every concrete placement, the use of fiber-reinforced concrete is estimated to have saved at least 1 to 2 days of labor.

Various reinforcement types can be evaluated to determine their relative performance in controlling the restrained shrinkage cracking behavior of concrete. Two sets of published test data on restrained shrinkage cracking of slabs-on-ground are analyzed, and a parameter suitable for comparing the performance of various reinforcement types is identified.

This is the third article in a five-part series. While Parts 1 and 2 review the procedure and basis for computing deflection of reinforced concrete with a new expression for the effective moment of inertia Ie first adopted in ACI CODE-318-19, this article examines the implications of this change for satisfying deflection limits of beams and one- and two-way slabs. A need is seen to revise current minimum thickness values for beams.

The FORTH Atlanta social club and hotel was designed with a concrete structural diagrid on the outside of the building. The columns were to be placed outboard of the slab edge, the corners at the top and bottom needed to “fold” inward to emphasize the three-dimensional form of the structure, and the flying beam at the roof perimeter was designed to cap off the diagrid.

The PS=Ø system allows engineers to design post-tensioned (PT) and reinforced concrete members with more restraint releases and without the construction schedule delays of traditional pour strips. With or without temporary PT stressing strips, PS=Ø couplers can be used as restraint relief details in slab-to-slab, slab-to-wall, and beam-to-beam joints.
