Re: Both face should have Shrinkage Steel in 12 inch thick Structural Slab (ACI318)

it depends on whether it is 1 way or 2 way, you might want to read ACI 7.12

Should 12 inch thick Structural Slab receive temperature and Shrinkage steel in both face?

 

ACI350 says about 24 in section to receive double layer of Shrink/Temp.

 

ACI 318 appears silent on this.
