Abstract:
ACI 318-19 has added provisions allowing the use of alternative cements. Prior to application of these new materials in structural concrete, however, several issues must be addressed to ensure that code provisions are being met. Generating the required information may be time-consuming. While the developed data should be applicable to other projects, additional documentation may be needed to address project-specific needs.
