TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative formulation of the effective moment of inertia was presented for all ranges of reinforcement ratio for both steel and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement without the need to apply correction factors.

TL;DR: The AASHTO LRFD specifications loss of prestress provisions have been clarified in this paper by demonstrating their foundation in basic mechanics, and the method that was developed (and has since been adopted as AASHO LR FD specifications article 5.9.5.4) is much more refined and rigorous than previous AASHO methods.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element analysis to determine time-dependent deflections of reinforced concrete slabs, including the effects of cracking, creep, and shrinkage, is presented, which employs a 16-degree-of-freedom layered rectangular plate bending element, and uses a numerical time integration scheme to evaluate creep/shrinkage strains determined from CEB parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of shrinkage restraint cracking and loading history on deflection of reinforced concrete flexural members are examined and the authors make recommendations for changes to ACI 318.

TL;DR: Cracks in concrete have many causes as discussed by the authors and the proper repair of cracks depends on knowing the causes and selecting the repair procedures that take these causes into account; otherwise, the repair may only be temporary.
