Abstract:
A description of the role of the architect, engineer, laboratory, and contractor in the design and construction of this all cast-in-place concrete structure is given. Di scusses shrinkage control to reduce cracking, and the dual role played by shrinkage-compensating concrete and post-tensioning in achieving this. Explains field, as well as laboratory, testing of concrete to determine effect and amount of expansion experienced.
