SP-2 2007, 2008, 200 pp.
Order Code: SP22007.NEWPUBS
This manual is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendants, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers. Designers may also find the manual to be a valuable reference by using the information to better adapt their designs to the realities of field construction.
This 10th Edition incorporates new material to address these advances in technology. A list of only a few of the recent developments in materials, equipment, and processes includes: shrinkage-compensating cement, increased use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), polymer-modifies mixtures, self-consolidating concrete, new and refined admixtures, fiber-reinforced concrete, epoxy resins, high-capacity and automated concrete production equipment, high-performance and high-strength concrete, and epoxy-coated and stainless steel-clad reinforcement.
The main emphasis of the manual is on the technical aspects of inspection and construction. For further information about construction practices, readers are encouraged to refer to the ACI Manual of Concrete Practice.
