Design considerations for building movements caused by volume change – Page 2 of 4

[ad_1] Figure 3: Panel-to-panel connection repairs. Problem #1: Inappropriately constrained building materials and a lack of consideration for internal forces and stresses induced by volume change When a structural engineer inappropriately constrains concrete structural members, preventing building movements associated with volume change, connection distress is an inevitable result. At a parking garage in a northern […]
