selection of slab thickness, which
must be determined by one of the
other methods. Instead, it gives design details and construction practices for the control of early-age expansion and the subsequent
shrinkage of the concrete slab. Reinforcing steel is required and its lo-

These are not thickness selection methods. However, the techniques affect the details of
the other four design methods.
