The purpose of this article is to establish an appropriate Shrinkage Restraint percentage to use for a typical intermediate concrete floor in a multi-story structure. The calculations demonstrate how construction sequence and varying shrinkage rates of adjacent levels affect external shrinkage restraint and the expected, net differential shrinkage at each level. A similar example was originally presented in a webinar titled Designing for Temperature and Shrinkage Loadings in RAM Concept
