Abstract:

The results of approximately 30 years of pioneering efforts in the design, installation, and maintenance of cathodic protection to reinforced concrete bridge structures are reported. Some of the more important elements in testing and reasons for the perfo

Abstract:

ACI and ASTM standards require an overdesign factor to be added to the design strength to account for variability in the mix. A high variability necessitates an average strength considerably higher than the design strength. There are two key problems wit

Abstract:

An owner can do much to achieve quality concrete construction. He has the most at stake in a project and must live with the results of others' efforts, but he knows the least about how to achieve the desired results. His roles and responsibilities are di

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
