- Synopsis
- This document outlines the revisions made to the "Design" volume of the Standard Specifications for Concrete Structures 2012. The aim of these revisions was to raise the level of performance assessment and verification methods, building on the basic organization of the 2007 version and drawing from advances in technology in the past few years. Specifically, various technical items, including chloride attack and steel corrosion, volume change of concrete (drying shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage, temperature change), prediction of cracking, shear strength formula, long-term deformation of structures, nonlinear analysis, restorability of structures and repairability of members, have been revised and mutual consistency has been enhanced.
