Abstract:
What are the ACI building code requirements for placing concrete in a tropical climate? Some people in our office say we should specify a maximum permissible concrete temperature of 90 °F(32 °C). Others say a temperature higher than 90 °F(32 °C) is allowable if the concrete contains a set-retarding admixture.
