Abstract:
This is the second article in a five-part series on calculating deflections for members not meeting minimum thickness requirements in accordance with ACI CODE-318-19. It reviews the development of a new expression for the effective moment of inertia Ie used to calculate immediate deflection of cracked reinforced (nonprestressed) concrete flexural members at service load and justifies the need for a change.
