ACI C-23-93 PDF Download

The ACI C-23-93 standard covers a range of topics related to the use and application of chemical admixtures in concrete. Some of the key areas discussed in this standard include the use of redispersible powder hydraulic cement admixtures, which are additives that improve the workability, strength, and durability of concrete mixtures. Additionally, the standard explores the use of organic-based corrosion-inhibiting admixtures, which help protect reinforced concrete structures from corrosion caused by exposure to harsh environments.

The standard also addresses the use of antifreeze admixtures, which are particularly useful in cold weather conditions to prevent freezing and ensure proper curing of concrete. The development and advancements related to chemical admixtures in Japan are also discussed within this standard, showcasing international perspectives and innovations in this field. Lastly, the standard touches on techniques to control plastic shrinkage cracking in cold weather, providing practical solutions and guidelines to prevent this common issue.
