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?
