A practical method for curtailment is as follows:Determine where the bar can be curtailed based on bending moment alone; and anchor this bar beyond this location for a distance lbd+a1, […]

Control joint spacing for plain (unreinforced) slabs on ground should not exceed: 24 slab thicknesses for concrete made with less than 19 mm maximum size coarse aggregate. 30 slab thicknesses […]
EK322
Control (contraction) joints permit slabs shrink without excessive cracking between joints.
EK230
Concrete floor slabs should have movement joints at around 20-30 m.
EK87
Since slabs are often rather flexible structures, the changes in geometry sometimes have a considerable effect on the load-carrying capacity. These effects are called membrane effects and one speaks about […]
