concrete placement

[hamjohn]

Does ACI have any recommendations on pouriing infill concrete wall after beams and columns are in place. Concern is will shrinkage of concrete induce unwanted stresses resulted from dowels extended out from the beams and columns on all 4 sides.

Not usually a big deal. Stress in concrete will relieve when cracks occur. Stress in rebar due to shrinkage is usually small.
