Abstract:
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.
