Abstract:
Q. I’m designing a project that will have reinforced concrete members that will be exposed to cycles of freezing and thawing as well as sulfates. How do the durability requirements in the ACI 318-141 Code compare to those in ACI 318-112? Q. What is the diameter of core samples required for evaluation of shotcrete core grades? I couldn’t find that information in ACI 506.2-95.1 Does ACI have an updated version of the document that I should use?
