ACI 207.1R: Guide to Mass Concrete
Abstract: Mass concrete is defined in ACI 116R as “any volume of concrete with dimensions large enough to require that measures be taken to cope with generation of heat from hydration of the cement and attendant volume change ...
ACI 231R: Report on Early-Age Cracking: Causes, Measurement, and Mitigation
Abstract: This document reviews the causes of early-age deformation and cracking. The test methods for quantifying the early-age stress development and hence the risk of cracking due to thermal and moisture conditions are described. ...
ACI 440.2R ERTA: Guide for the Design and Construction of Externally Bonded FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures
Abstract: Scope and limitations
This document provides guidance for the selection, design, and installation of FRP systems for externally strengthening concrete structures. Information on material properties, ...

ACI 446.4R: Report on Dynamic Fracture of Concrete
Abstract: This report considers issues related to the fracture of concrete materials and structures subjected to dynamic loading from impact, explosions, and earthquakes. Experimental evidence on rate effects is described in Chapter 2, including mixed mode effects associated with shearing action and bond effects. Analytical modeling of strain-rate effects is...
ACI 544.5R: Report on the Physical Properties and Durability of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: The report is divided into three sections:
1. The physical properties of FRC;
2. The areas where concrete durability is affected by the addition of fibers; and
3. A series of applications where FRC use resulted ...

ACI 349.3R: Evaluation of Existing Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures
Abstract: Evaluation of existing nuclear safety-related concrete structures may be required as a result of identified degradation or abnormal performance, in support of physical modifications, or for periodical validation of structural ...
ACI 446.1R: Fracture Mechanics of Concrete: Concepts, Models and Determination of Material Properties
Abstract: Introduction
Concrete structures are full of cracks. Failure of concrete structures typically involves stable growth of large cracking zones and the formation of large fractures before the maximum load ...

ACI SP-204: Design and Construction Practices to Mitigate Cracking
Abstract: Scope:
PREFACE
Correct design of concrete structural ...
ACI 437R: Strength Evaluation of Existing Concrete Buildings
Abstract: This report provides recommendations to establish the loads that can be sustained safely by the structural elements of an existing concrete building. The procedures can be applied generally to other concrete structures, ...
ACI 222R: Protection of Metals in Concrete Against Corrosion
Abstract: This report discusses the factors that influence corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete, measures for protecting embedded reinforcing steel in new construction, techniques for detecting corrosion in structures in ...
