GUIDELINES FOR THE APPRAISAL OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS IN HIGH ALUMINIA CEMENT CONCRETE
This memorandum is primarily concerned with suspended floor and roof structures which are constructed from precast prestressed concrete components made from high aluminia cement (hac), where the units are used generally in a simple non-composite form with breeze block or composition non-structural decking. Current field experience is used to outline a rational inspection and appraisal procedure. The process of assessment of the structural condition is described in detail: visual inspection, background information (one-day cube strength of the concrete, water/ cement ratio, composition and strength of the cement, method of compaction and curing), non-destructive tests, structural analysis and judgment and recommendations for action. /TRRL/
