This specification is intended to apply to Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) Systems that will act as permanent formwork for cast-in-place reinforced concrete beams; lintels; exterior and interior, above and below grade bearing and non-bearing walls; foundations; and retaining walls. The...
Fresh concrete must be produced with the properties required for its intended applications, for example, it must be workable enough to flow into formwork, and to be compacted. This book deals with the measurement of the flow properties of fresh concrete and the factors which affect its...
INTRODUCTION The scope of this guide is to solve a lack of uniformity in the appearance criteria of concrete surfaces, provide definitions for the various levels of formed concrete surfaces, and give objective evaluations of them. Although there are various reference sources for constructing and...
INTRODUCTION High-strength concrete (HSC) has advantages over normal-strength concrete (NSC), especially for columns of high-rise buildings, as it reduces column sizes and increases the durability of concrete (Smith and Rad 1989). Moreover, HSC can be advantageous with regard to lateral stiffness...
