ACI SP-179:1998 PDF Download

ACI SP-179:1998 is the proceedings of the Fourth CANMET/ACI/JCI International Conference on Advances in Concrete Technology, which took place in Japan in June 1998. The publication contains 62 refereed papers that were presented at the conference.

The topics covered in the conference include various aspects of concrete technology and its advancements. Some of the topics discussed include durability considerations in the design of concrete structures, new applications of magnesium phosphate cements, cracking tendency of high-strength lightweight aggregate concrete, properties of high-strength and high-fluidity lightweight concrete, rapid testing methods for self-compacting concrete, properties and application of environmentally friendly porous concrete, and strength and durability of concrete using bottom ash as a fine aggregate replacement.

Other topics covered in the publication include shrinkage reduction type of advanced superplasticizer, mechanical properties and resistance to freezing and thawing of concrete using recycled aggregate, properties of high-strength porous concrete, water control properties of silane treatment, influence of sulfate level on superplasticized concretes, and effects of protective methods against salt damage.

The publication also includes papers on carbonation, chloride ion concentration, and corrosion of reinforced concrete buildings, study of chloride ions penetration into concrete, application of high-strength concrete to fill tubular steel columns, thermal properties of high-strength concrete at elevated temperatures, and evaluation of cracks in concrete structures using infrared thermography.

This standard provides a comprehensive collection of research papers discussing various aspects of concrete technology and its advancements, making it a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals in the field of concrete technology.
