ACI SP-276:2011 PDF Download

ACI SP-276:2011 is a standard that contains six papers that were presented at ACI Conventions in 2008 and 2009. These papers provide insights into the use of fibers to enhance the long-term performance and durability of concrete. The papers cover various applications and benefits of using fibers, including improving plastic shrinkage cracking resistance, enhancing fire resistance, and increasing the durability of cracked concrete. The standard also includes performance comparison tests for fiber-reinforced concrete, such as uniaxial direct tensile tests, third-point bending tests, and round panel tests. Additionally, one of the papers explores the use of steel fiber-reinforced concrete in the anchorage zone of post-tensioned concrete girders.
