ACI PRC-350.2-21 (IN-LB, SI) PDF Download

ACI PRC-350.2-21 (IN-LB, SI) is a standard that provides guidelines for the containment of hazardous materials in concrete structures. The standard focuses on the structural design, materials, and construction of various structures, such as reinforced concrete tanks and sumps, that are commonly used for this purpose. The main objective of the standard is to ensure that these structures have dense, impermeable concrete with high resistance to chemical attack.

The standard covers a range of topics related to the design and construction of hazardous material containment structures. It provides recommendations for the design and spacing of joints, which play a crucial role in preventing the leakage of hazardous materials. Additionally, the standard addresses the proportioning of concrete, the placement and curing of the concrete, and the need for protective measures against chemical substances.

Moreover, the report includes information on liners, secondary containment systems, and leak-detection systems. Liners are used to provide an additional layer of protection against chemical attack, while secondary containment systems help minimize the impact of any potential leaks or spills. Leak-detection systems are also essential for early detection and prevention of any leaks in the containment structures.
