Mass Concrete - Guide
Also Known As:
The ACI PRC-207.1-21 (IN-LB, SI) standard provides a comprehensive overview of the practice of mass concrete. It begins with a historical background on the development of mass concrete techniques. The guide also discusses various materials and concrete mixture proportioning methods that are suitable for mass concrete projects.
The standard delves into the properties of mass concrete and provides insights into construction methods and equipment used for the placement and consolidation of traditionally placed mass concrete. It specifically focuses on the application of mass concrete in the construction of massive structures such as dams.
Additionally, the standard provides information on the use of mass concrete in heavily reinforced structures and thermally controlled concrete, which includes bridge elements and building foundations. However, it is important to note that the ACI PRC-207.1-21 (IN-LB, SI) standard does not cover roller-compacted concrete.
