ACI MANUAL OF CONCRETE PRACTICE. PART 1--1976

This manual contains current committee reports and standards concerned with materials and properties of concrete, construction practices and inspection, and pavements and slabs. Among the topics covered are the durability of concrete, condition survey of concrete in service, mass concrete for massive structures, the cracking of massive concrete, erosion resistance of concrete, proportions for normal, heavyweight concrete, structural lightweight concrete and no-slump concrete. Admixture and concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete, compression test results of field concrete, the design of concrete structures subjected to field loading aggregates for concretes, and expansive cement concretes are also covered. Recommendations are made related to the practice for measuring, mixing, transporting and placing concrete, hot weather and cold weather concreting, curing, consolidation, inspection, concrete highway bridge deck construction, cast-in-place nonreinforced concrete pipe, and concrete formwork. Preplaced concrete is discussed, and placing of concrete is covered. Nuclear concrete and precast concrete forms for cast-in-place concrete are also covered. The section on pavements and slabs covers concrete floor and slab construction, concrete pavements and concrete bases, foundations and shoulders of concrete pavements, the prestressed pavement slab, continuously reinforced concrete pavements, and concrete overlays for pavements.
