ACI TMS CODE-122.2-24 PDF

This Code prescribes minimum design and construction requirements for energy efficiency of building envelopes of new buildings and additions to buildings. It applies to buildings having concrete walls, roofs, or floors; masonry walls; and masonry veneer, including veneer attached to frame walls as part of the building envelope. It also provides minimum thermal properties for these assemblies for code compliance. This Code is applicable to low-rise residential buildings that use either electricity from any generation source or fossil fuel. It can be used with applicable energy codes and standards such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).

ACI SP-362 PDF

In July of 1983, the Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology of Natural Resources Canada (CANMET), in association with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, sponsored a 5-day international conference in Montebello, Quebec, Canada, on the use of fly ash, silica fume, slag, and other mineral by-products in concrete. The conference brought together representatives from industry, academia, and government agencies to present the latest information on these materials and to explore new areas of needed research. Since then, eight other such conferences have been held around the world (Madrid, Trondheim, Istanbul, Milwaukee, Bangkok, Madras, Las Vegas, and Warsaw). The 2007 Warsaw Conference was the last in this series.

ACI SP-363 PDF

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a state-of-the-art cementitious composite. Since the concept of this novel concrete mixture emerged in the 1990s, significant advancements have been made with numerous benefits such as high strength, flowability, high post-cracking tensile resistance, improved durability, reduced maintenance, and extended longevity. Currently, UHPC is employed around the globe alongside recently published practice guidelines. Although numerous research projects were undertaken to examine the behavior of UHPC-incorporated structures, there still are many gaps to be explored. Of interest are the development of robust and reliable mixtures and their application to primary load-bearing members for bridges and buildings, including various site demonstration projects that would promote the use of this leading-edge construction material. This Special Publication (SP) contains nine papers selected from three technical sessions held in the ACI Spring Convention in March 2022. All manuscripts were reviewed by at least two experts in accordance with the ACI publication policy. The Editors wish to thank all contributing authors and anonymous reviewers for their rigorous efforts. The Editors also gratefully acknowledge Ms. Barbara Coleman at ACI for her knowledgeable guidance.

ACI PRC-ITG-11-24 PDF

This report demonstrates how statistical techniques can be used in the assessment of concrete structures to evaluate their condition and reliability and to assess the relative merits of possible repair options. A Reliability Toolkit provides licensed design professionals with a summary of some statistical methods that are useful for structural assessment. The report also gives two detailed examples of assessments for structural concrete repair.

ACI 355.4-19 (R2021) PDF

This standard prescribes testing programs and evaluation requirements for post-installed adhesive anchors intended for use in concrete under the design provisions of ACI 318. Testing and assessment criteria are provided for various conditions of use, including seismic loading; sustained loading; aggressive environments; reduced and elevated temperatures; and for determining whether anchors are acceptable for use in uncracked concrete only, or acceptable for service both in cracked and uncracked concrete. Criteria are provided for establishing the characteristic bond strength, reductions for adverse conditions, and the anchor category and associated job-site quality control requirements.

ACI 363.2R-11 PDF

High-strength concrete (HSC) has emerged as a viable material to use as an alternative to conventional normal-strength concrete in infrastructure systems to reduce member cross section, extend member span length, reduce the number of system members, or enhance system sustainability. This guide offers general information on the quality control and testing of HSC. Recommendations are based on the current state of knowledge gained from worldwide experimental research, analytical work, and field applications of HSC systems used in concrete structures.

ACI 304.6R-09(19) PDF

This guide includes a short history of and information on the basic design and operation of equipment, frequently called mobile mixers, used to produce concrete by volumetric measurement and continuous mixing (VMCM). Definitions, applications, and quality assurance testing are discussed. The use of this equipment is compared with weigh-batch-mixing equipment to highlight some of the limited differences.
