Note: 364.7T-02(11) is only available in PDF format.

This TechNote provides an answer to the question, "What is “bruising,” how is it evaluated, and how can it be minimized?" TechNotes are a committee document that are narrowly focused, single-topic guides, usually practice oriented, that present a specific direction on a particular issue. ACI committee documents (including TechNotes) are reviewed and approved by ACI's Technical Activities Committee.
