9. Adjournment.
I have been reviewing the current ACI 209 Document 209.2R-08 and would like to report
what I think some of the errors in the equations I found that need to be corrected.
a) Page 18: Eq. A-10 the value 1.23-0.116(V/S) should be changed to 1.17-0.116(V/S) (in.lb.
units)
b) Page 22 Eq. A-48 -exp{8H(t0) should be changed to -exp{-8H(t0). Note the example is
correct
c) Page 21 Eq. A-34 The term between bracket should have a square root sqrt(t/(4+0.85t)
Please refer to Bazant paper attched see equation 1.13 on page 9. (Prof. Bazant please confirm
if this is an error in the paper or ACI 209 equation report)
ATTACHMENT B
on behalf of Prof. Bazant I can confirm that the two errors (b) and (c) should be corrected as
suggested, see attached errata.
Best,
Roman Wendner & Zdenek P Bazant
