ACI SP-190:2000 PDF Download

ACI SP-190:2000 is a special publication that highlights the advancements in the development of high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete thin sheet products. It consists of 11 papers that were presented at the ACI Spring Convention in 1999, addressing various applications such as curtain walls, pipes, roof tiles, and repair/retrofit of existing structures.

The papers discuss the manufacturing processes involved and the materials used, which include both natural and manufactured materials. Topics covered in the publication include the effect of fiber length in extruded and cast cement composites, carbon fiber-reinforced cement permanent formwork for steel-free bridge decks, the effect of material constituents on the performance of fiber-reinforced cementitious thin sheets, cement-based cross-ply and sandwich laminate composites, integral formwork panels made of glass fiber-reinforced concrete, bending behavior of laminated cementitious composites reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymeric mesh, durability of glass/polymer fibrous mesh-reinforced thin cementitious composites, durability of extruded thin sheet polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-reinforced cement composites, major improvements in long-term strength and toughness of glass fiber-reinforced concrete, glass fiber-reinforced concrete using super low contractile admixture, and the reinforcing effects of processed cellulose fibers in mortar, thin sheet products, and concrete.
