Energy conservation technical assistance update.

The Energy Conservation Act (20 ILCS 1115) was signed into law in September 1979. The law requires that the Department provide technical assistance in the development of thermal efficiency standards and lighting efficiency standards to units of local government, upon request by such unit. The law also states that the Department shall provide technical assistance in the development of a program for energy efficiency in procurement to units of local government, upon request by such unit. The Technical Assistance Programs provided under the law are supported by funds provided to the State pursuant to federal acts that provide funds for energy conservation efforts through the use of building codes.

Suctions, fracture energy, and plastic cracking of cement mortar and concrete

Plastic cracking of cement mortar and concrete is primarily attributable to desiccation by evaporation from unprotected surfaces. This causes high suctions (negative pressures) to develop in the pore water adjacent to these surfaces. Dissolved salts in the pore water can also contribute significantly to suctions. Quantitative expressions are available for all of the components of the total suction. The development of suctions over time is illustrated by the results of desiccation tests conducted on cement mortars, supplemented by data from the literature. It is shown that ambient conditions conducive to plastic cracking can arise almost anywhere, but that the extremely high suctions that develop in mature cement mortar and concrete do not imply that compression failures should occur A high value of fracture energy is derived from data from the desiccation tests that implies that plastic cracking is characterized by a significant zone of plastic straining or microcracking.
