ACI SP-124:1990 PDF Download

ACI SP-124:1990 standard is a collection of papers presented at international symposiums organized by ACI Committee 544 and 549. The standard focuses on the use of dispersed, randomly oriented fibers to reinforce portland cement concrete or mortar in thin-section applications. The fibers can be made from various materials such as metal, mineral, synthetic organic, or natural organic. The length of the fibers can range from 1/8 inch to 2-1/2 inches.

The standard also discusses ferrocement, which refers to portland cement mortar reinforced by closely spaced layers of continuous fiber networks or meshes. Although the name implies the use of steel wire meshes, ferrocement can be manufactured with any of the fiber types mentioned above.

The included papers cover a wide range of topics related to thin-section fiber-reinforced concrete and ferrocement. These topics include the performance and properties of different fiber-cement products, fabrication techniques, reinforcement materials, design considerations, durability improvements, and structural behavior analysis.
