Abstract:
Even though ACI does not offer a standard specification for proof-rolling of a prepared base for a slab-on-ground, related requirements and recommendations are provided in ACI 301-20, ACI 360R-10, and ACI 302.1R-15. Excerpts from these documents are provided, along with recommendations and examples that readers may use to develop specification language for proof-rolling.
