Abstract:

During the past 50 years, there have been significant changes in the composition of general-purpose concrete. Along with changes in the performance of portland cement, changes have come about due to the inclusion of chemical and mineral admixtures,

Abstract:

SP-104 This ACI volume provides engineers, contractors, and architects insight into the problems and solutions associated with high quality concrete construction. The infrastructure can not be built too well, and what little extra it may take to build in that extra assured quality is an investment of high return. Quality is often talked about--but follow through is often lacking. Concrete and Concrete Construction, a collection of 16 papers, explores in detail the various steps involved in assuring the best possible results. Topics covered include: improving concrete quality with silica fume, design for strength variability, how to obtain quality concrete, under water concreting, curing of concrete, effects of construction practice on concrete-steel bond, and consolidation of concrete. In addition, subjects such as controlling concrete during hot and cold weather, and code requirements for crack control are covered extensively.

Abstract:

Usually it is assumed that consecutive concrete strength values are independent. However, the analysis of five extensive concrete strength records, with a number of observations ranging between 534 and 1786, reveals that significant serial correlation is
