Abstract:
ACI Committee 126 is developing a guide for use in establishing the content of a comprehensive concrete materials property database. Recommended formats will be provided for organizing and subdividing information about concrete constituents including cements, aggregates, chemical admixtures, mineral admixtures, fibers, and water; as well as concrete processing and properties and performance. The purpose is to facilitate efficient storage and retrieval of information about concrete with a computer and to allow meaningful comparisons of concrete properties from different sources.
