The 8th Edition, authored by David W. Johnston, North Carolina State University, is a major revision of the document to bring it up-to-date with "Guide to Formwork for Concrete (ACI 347R-14)." Revisions include referencing current standards and practices, removing outdated or irrelevant...
This Standard sets out the requirements for the design, manufacture, installation, re-positioning and dismantling of perimeter protection screens of height 1 m and above that are to be attached to formwork or to the permanent structure to provide edge protection for personnel and to minimize...
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...
