Shrinkage reinforcement

Shrinkage reinforcement

Shrinkage reinforcement

(OP)
Doesn't a structural plain concrete foundation need reinforcement for shrinkage effect? I have gone through ACI-318, chapter 22 "Structural Plain Concrete" and found out no indication to such reinforcement. If such reinforcement is need, where shall it be placed?

Thanks and regards,

 

RE: Shrinkage reinforcement

Reinforced concrete needs reinforcement, for shrinkage among a lot of other reasons.  Plain concrete is unreinforced.  You will find that the code has different rules for plain and reinforced concrete.
