ACI 304.1R-92 (R2005) PDF Download

ACI 304.1R-92 (R2005) is a standard titled "Guide for the Use of Preplaced Aggregate Concrete for Structural and Mass Concrete Applications." This standard provides a comprehensive description of the practices that have been developed and refined over many years for the successful use of preplaced aggregate concrete. It also explains the reasons behind the material requirements that are unique to this type of concrete.

The standard highlights the differences between preplaced aggregate concrete and ordinary concrete, emphasizing that the material requirements for preplaced aggregate concrete are distinct from those typically specified for ordinary concrete. This distinction is important as it ensures the optimal performance and durability of preplaced aggregate concrete in structural and mass concrete applications.

By providing guidelines and recommendations, the standard aims to promote the proper use of preplaced aggregate concrete and prevent any potential issues or failures that may arise from incorrect practices or inadequate material selection. The standard serves as a valuable resource for engineers, contractors, and others involved in the design and construction of structures using preplaced aggregate concrete.
