Linear interpolation is permitted to establish an edge distance and spacing combination between case 1 and case 2.
Linear interpolation for a specific edge distance c, where cmin,1 < c < cmin,2, will determine the permissible spacing, s, as follows:
(smin,1 − smin,2 )
s ≥ smin,2 +
(cmin,1 − cmin,2 ) (c − cmin,2 )

Temperature range B: Maximum short term temperature = 176°F (80°C), Maximum long term temperature = 110°F (43°C).
Temperature range C: Maximum short term temperature = 248°F (120°C), Maximum long term temperature = 162°F (72°C).
Short term elevated concrete temperatures are those that occur over brief intervals, e.g., as a result of diurnal cycling. Long term concrete temperatures are
roughly constant over significant periods of time.

Temperature range C: Maximum short term temperature = 248°F (120°C), Maximum long term temperature = 162°F (72°C).
Short term elevated concrete temperatures are those that occur over brief intervals, e.g., as a result of diurnal cycling. Long term concrete temperatures are
roughly constant over significant periods of time.

Bond strength values correspond to concrete compressive strength f′c = 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa). For concrete compressive strength, f’c, between 2,500
psi (17.2 MPa) and 8,000 psi (55.2 MPa), the tabulated characteristic bond strength may be increased by a factor of (f’c / 2,500)0.1 [For SI: (f'c /
17.2)0.1]. See Section 4.1.4 of this report for bond strength determination.

Temperature range A: Maximum short term temperature = 130°F (55°C), Maximum long term temperature = 110°F (43°C).
Temperature range B: Maximum short term temperature = 176°F (80°C), Maximum long term temperature = 110°F (43°C).
Temperature range C: Maximum short term temperature = 248°F (120°C), Maximum long term temperature = 162°F (72°C).
Short term elevated concrete temperatures are those that occur over brief intervals, e.g., as a result of diurnal cycling. Long term concrete
temperatures are roughly constant over significant periods of time.

Bond strength values correspond to concrete compressive strength f′c = 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa). For concrete compressive strength, f'c, between 2,500 psi (17.2
MPa) and 8,000 psi (55.2 MPa), the tabulated characteristic bond strength may be increased by a factor of (f'c / 2,500)0.1 for uncracked concrete, [For SI: (f'c /
17.2)0.1] and (f'c / 2,500)0.3 for cracked concrete, [For SI: (f'c / 17.2)0.3]. See Section 4.1.4 of this report for bond strength determination.

Temperature range A: Maximum short term temperature = 130°F (55°C), Maximum long term temperature =110°F (43°C).
Temperature range B: Maximum short term temperature = 176°F (80°C), Maximum long term temperature = 110°F (43°C).
Temperature range C: Maximum short term temperature = 248°F (120°C), Maximum long term temperature = 162°F (72°C).
Short term elevated concrete temperatures are those that occur over brief intervals, e.g., as a result of diurnal cycling. Long term concrete temperatures are
roughly constant over significant periods of time.
