ACI 544.3R: Guide for Specifying, Proportioning, and Production of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: This guide covers specifying, proportioning, mixing, placing, and finishing of conventional FRC. The fiber types included in this guide are steel, glass, and synthetic. Not included are FRC produced using the shotcrete ...
ACI 224.2R: Cracking of Concrete Members in Direct Tension
Abstract: Preface: This report is concerned with cracking in reinforced concrete caused primarily by direct tension rather than bending. Causes of direct tension cracking are reviewed, and equations for predicting crack spacing and crack width are presented. As cracking progresses with increasing load, axial stiffness decreases. Methods for estimating post-c...
ACI 548.6R: Polymer Concrete - Structural Applications State-of-the-Art Report
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Polymer concrete (PC) is used for structural applications where strength, stiffness, durability, and ease in molding provide an advantage over alternate materials. An additional attraction ...
ACI 211.2: Standard Practice for Selecting Proportions for Structural Lightweight Concrete
Abstract: Discussion in this standard is limited to structural grade, lightweight aggregates, and structural lightweight-aggregate concrete. Structural lightweight-aggregate concrete is defined as concrete which: (a) is made with ...
ACI 551.1R: Tilt-Up Concrete Construction Guide
Abstract: Introduction
According to ACI 116R, "Tilt-up construction is a technique for casting concrete elements in a horizontal position at the jobsite and tilting them to their final position in the structure," ...

ACI SP-203: Code Provisions for Deflection Control in Concrete Structures
Abstract: PREFACE: Design for serviceability as determined by deflection control is central to the work of structural engineers, code-writing bodies, and the users. The present era of high strength and high performance ...
ACI ASCC-1: The Contractor's Guide to Quality Concrete Construction
Abstract: Foreword
Safety
Construction can be a hazardous business. With proper training procedures, hazard inspections, and rules enforcement, however, the hazards can be greatly reduced or eliminated. A well-conceived safety program is mandatory to keep everyone at the jobsite aware of possible hazards. People attr...
