All papers presented in this publication were reviewed by recognized experts in accordance with the ACI review procedures. It is hoped that designers, constructors, and codifying bodies will be able to draw on the material presented in this volume in conjunction with the ACI 435 Committee Report "Control of Deflection in Concrete Structures", in improving the long-term deflection behavior and performance of concrete constructed facilities.
