Work specified-This Specification covers cast-inplace structural concrete reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars except where other provisions are specified in the Contract Documents. Work not specified-The subjects covered by ACI 301 are not in the scope of this...
Work specified-This Specification covers cast-in-place structural concrete reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars except where other provisions are specified in the Contract Documents. Work not specified-The subjects covered by ACI 301M are not in the scope of this...
PREFACE This manual is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendents, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers. Designers may also find the...
This guide provides recommendations for the design and construction of FRP-reinforced concrete structures for nonprestressed FRP reinforcement; concrete structures prestressed with FRP tendons are covered in ACI 440.4R. The basis for this guide is knowledge gained from...
Preface The use of Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in new construction and repair of concrete structures has been growing rapidly in recent years. FRP provides options and benefits not available using traditional materials. The promise of FRP materials lies in their...
Preface This Special Publication of the American Concrete Institute consists of papers accepted for the Ned H. Burns Symposium on Historic Innovations in Prestressed Concrete. The included papers were presented in two sessions sponsored by Joint ACI/ASCE Committee 423 at the...
This specification covers performance criteria for latex and powder polymers when used as modifiers in hydraulic cement concrete and mortar to improve adhesion and reduce permeability (see Note 1). NOTE 1-For further information concerning theory, benefits, limitations, and...
PREFACE Fracture mechanics concepts are increasingly used in designing concrete structures and also in understanding the fundamental behavior of concrete-like materials. Fracture mechanics concepts have the potential for use in designing concrete-FRP composites and in repairing...
Polymers are one of the most versatile and important materials used for capsule preparation despite various others available. Suitably formulated capsules can securely protect ingredients, deliver them to targeted sites, and release them expeditiously, improving functions and minimizing...
INTRODUCTION Polymer concrete (PC) has been used in structural applications where strength, stiffness, durability, and ease in molding provide an advantage over other materials. Many types of reinforcement can be used with PC. This guide presents the structural uses of PC....
PREFACE Advances in Concrete Bridges: Design, Construction, Evaluation, and Rehabilitation Concrete bridges play an important role in the efficiency and reliability of transportation civil infrastructure. Significant advancements have been made over the last decades to enhance the...
This work provides comprehensive coverage of the basic theories and hands-on techniques of polymer toughening, demonstrating the similarities in methods of measurement and toughness enhancement found in various classes of polymeric materials, including foams, films, adhesives and...
New Edition Offers Improved Framework for Understanding Polymers Written by well-established professors in the field, Polymer Chemistry, Second Edition provides a well-rounded and articulate examination of polymer properties at the molecular level. It focuses on fundamental...
This guide provides model test methods for determining the short- and long-term mechanical properties of FRP reinforcing bars, grids, tendons, and laminates-both prestressed and nonprestressed-for concrete and masonry structures. As noted in the individual methods, most of the methods for...
INTRODUCTION Application of wet lay-up Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) systems in the repair industry is well accepted. These applications include structural strengthening of structures such as parking garages, buildings, bridges, etc. which have experience some form of structural deficiency,...
The manner in which polymers are linked, under certain conditions, forms the main focus of this work. Spectroscopy has, over the years, proved itself to be the technique in providing information at molecular levels for many polymer systems. This book provides an overview of the...
