Part 2 - FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO DEFLECTION PROBLEMS
IN TWO-WAY REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS
Factors Contributing to Slab Deflection Problems
Loads During Construction
Properties of Concrete at Early Ages
Creep of Concrete Loaded at Early Ages
Control of Slab Deflections
Summary and Conclusions
Covers two parts. Part I is a summary of published studies on slab deflections (3 from Australia, 1 from Scotland, 1 from Sweden, 2 from U.S.). The summary focuses on construction practices and materials quality. Comparison of deflections calculated by various methods with actual long-term deflections is made in some cases. Part II summarizes several construction problems and material deficiencies which can contribute to large long-term deflections. Focuses on large construction loads as construction loads may be considerably higher than design loads and that high construction loads cause high initial deflections because concrete has a lower modulus of elasticity when loaded at an early age. Also, concrete creeps more when loaded at an early age which causes additional high long-term deflections.
