Abstract:
Mass concrete placements require attention to design requirements and construction considerations to manage internal concrete temperature rise and thermal stresses that can lead to cracking. ASCC concrete contractors recognize that when mass concrete is specified, project success relies on clear definition of mass concrete elements and temperature limits, including early coordination and project-specific thermal control plan requirements and its optimization.

Indonesia’s adoption of ACI provisions has advanced into organized action through the ACI Western Indonesia Chapter (ACI-WIC), established in 2023. Founded by 31 professionals involved with concrete design, construction, and technology, the Chapter aims to localize ACI knowledge, professionalize concrete practice, and cultivate future talent.

This article discusses air-entrained concrete, advantages of air entrainment, the effects of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the air-entraining admixture (AEA) dosage, and the effects of production and construction variables on air content. It explains parameters such as total air content, air-void size and distribution, spacing factor, and specific surface, and summarizes testing methods and relevant specifications, as well as alternatives to AEA.

Professor Carolyn Hansson’s remarkable journey began in England, during the turbulence of the Second World War. Despite the hardships of wartime and the limitations imposed by rationing, Carolyn was raised in a nurturing environment by parents who instilled in her a deep respect for learning and perseverance. These values would guide her through an exceptional academic and professional life. As the sole woman at the Royal School of Mines, Carolyn studied metallurgy at Imperial College, where she later earned her PhD, focusing on superconductivity and crystal structures at liquid helium temperatures. Her postdoctoral path led her from industrial research at Martin Marietta Laboratories to academic positions at Columbia University and the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and later to Bell Laboratories in 1976. Her pivotal shift into corrosion science began in 1980 at the Danish Corrosion Centre, where she worked on a new type of cement and corrosion of steel in concrete. From Denmark to Canada, Professor Hansson continued her research at Queen’s University and later at the University of Waterloo, building an enduring legacy in the field of steel corrosion in concrete structures. Over the decades, Carolyn’s contributions to corrosion research have shaped and guided generations of engineers and scientists. Her pioneering studies—on electrical resistivity of concrete, quantifying reinforcement corrosion rates, and understanding the complex role of chlorides—remain foundational in the field. Her investigations into corrosion inhibitors, electrochemical chloride extraction, effects of concrete cracking on reinforcement corrosion, and corrosion-resistant steels continue to influence global practices in infrastructure resilience. This Special Publication celebrates more than 60 years of Professor Hansson’s contributions as a scientist, educator, and mentor. The papers collected here, presented at the 2025 Spring Convention in Toronto, reflect not only the lasting relevance of her work but also its future promise. Her vision stands as both a mirror to the past and a beacon for innovations yet to come in corrosion-resistant construction. O. Burkan Isgor David Tepke Ceki Halmen Neal Berke

ACI Committee 365 published a new Design Specification in 2024. The Design Specification was developed to provide requirements to the Service Life Engineer, a specialty engineer focused on durability, for performing service life predictions of new structures. The Service Life Engineer is responsible for predicting the service life performance of concrete elements and developing requirements for the verification of the service life prediction during construction. The Service Life Report, developed during or prior to construction, and a Service Life Record Report, delivered at the completion of construction, are deliverables prepared by the Service Life Engineer at the completion of the project. The requirements of the Design Specification aim to provide consistency to the practice of service life prediction of new concrete structures. The technical requirements for performing service life predictions following the Design Specification are discussed in this paper.
