Hi
I have been discussing this topic earlier but would like to ask a few more questions:
Do we have to adjust creep factor if analysis is done according to EC?
If analysis is done according to AS3600 - which model is used for analysis? (Branson's formula, Kcs method?)
If analysis is done according to AS3600 - has clause 8.5.3.1 been incorporated? (Ieff max=0.6I)
If reinforced concrete is used - can shrinkage strain be reduced due to the fact that reinforcement is taking away some shrinkage (effectively "restraining" the slab from shrinkage)
Where "shrinkage restraint" idea is coming from - is it mentioned anywhere in ACI?
Thanks in advance
