    The document describes a method for estimating restraint in a wall cast onto a rigid base using the relative stiffness of the new wall section and base section. It provides the equations to calculate the restraint factor based on the geometry, cross-sectional areas, and moduli of elasticity of the wall and base. Sample calculations are shown to estimate the restraint factor for different wall and base dimensions.

    Estimation of restraint Introduction

    C660 - Estimation of restraint


    This calculator estimates restraint in a wall cast onto a rigid based. The method is based of the ACI approach in which the restraint at the joint is determined by the relative
    stiffness of the new section and the section against which it is cast. The variation in restraint with height is determined by the length to height ratio.
    The method is described in detail in Appendix A5

    PAGE 2 RESTRAINT

    Wall geometry The wall geometry is define by the length L, the height H and the thickness, h
    The base geometry is define by the width Wand the thickness, h . The length is assumed to be the same as the length
    Base geometry
    of wall being cast

    The ratio of the cross sectional area (c.s.a.) of the wall An and the base Ao is calculated. The relative areas of
    influence Ao and An may be difficult to define. For example, when a wall is cast onto a slab, what width of slab
    should be considered as providing effective restraint? In such circumstances it is recommended that the relative area
    is assumed to be in proportion to the relative thicknesses, hn and ho, of the wall and slab. The following simple rules
    Relative areas
    may be applied.
    • For a high wall cast at the edge of a slab assume An/Ao = hn/ho
    • For a wall cast remote from the edge of a slab assume An/Ao = hn/2ho
    • For a slab cast against an existing slab assume An/Ao = hn/ho

    CIRIA 135 recommends that the ratio En/Eo is assume to be in the range 0.7 to 0.8 at early-age. The lower value
    gives most conservative result and should be used for conditions in which cool-down is most rapid. When
    Relative modulus of elasticity
    estimating restraint to long term deformations, should there be any differential strains, it should be assumed that
    En/Eo = 1
