Abstract:
A Joint ACI-ASCC Task Group developed a survey to gather information regarding the construction of concrete floors and slabs using ordinary portland cement (OPC) and portland-limestone cement. This article presents 15 survey questions and a summary of responses provided by 173 respondents, as well as information from previously conducted surveys.
