ACI 350.1M-10 PDF Download

The ACI 350.1M-10 standard, also known as the Specification for Tightness Testing of Environmental Engineering Concrete Containment Structures, provides procedures and criteria for determining the tightness of concrete structures used for containing liquids or gases. This standard is applicable to structures made entirely of concrete or a combination of concrete and other materials.

The standard covers various test methods, including hydrostatic, surcharged hydrostatic, and pneumatic tests. These methods can be used to assess the tightness of the structures and ensure that they are capable of containing hazardous materials safely.

It should be noted that these tests may involve hazards, both in terms of materials being contained and the equipment and operations required to conduct the tests. Therefore, it is important for users of this standard to establish appropriate safety protocols and adhere to health practices. Additionally, the user should also consider regulatory limitations and determine their applicability before conducting the tests.
