Hi dear engineers, it's been a while I joined the forum. Currently, I am working as an Asst Senior Structural Engineer in ADCL, an affiliated partner of ADGI, USA. I am preparing myself for higher study in conjunction with my job. I have an immense interest in Performance-Based Seismic Design and Steel Structures. I always try to find literature, software, seminar notes, etc regarding these. Looking forward to enhancing my knowledge through mutual sharing.

Hi Asif, Glad to have you on the forum. Welcome aboard. Thanks.

Shrinkage strips are temporary joints that are left open for a certain time during construction to allow the shrinkage to take place without inducing stresses. It is usually 2 to 3 feet wide across the entire building and should be cast 2 to 4 weeks later than the adjacent portions.
