Dear Colleagues in ACI 209,

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)

Please provide your feedback if you disagree.


Sincerely,

Dr. Akthem Al-Manaseer, Professor


Civil & Environmental Engineering

Dear Colleagues of ACI 209,

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
