Manual of Concrete Inspection
Also Known As:
The ACI MNL-2(19) standard is a comprehensive guide intended to assist concrete inspectors, engineers, technicians, and other professionals involved in concrete construction and testing. It provides guidelines, instructions, and technical information to ensure the proper inspection and construction of concrete structures.
The manual recognizes the evolving nature of the concrete industry and incorporates new materials, equipment, and processes that have emerged in recent years. Some of these advancements include shrinkage-compensating cement, supplementary cementitious materials, polymer-modified mixtures, self-consolidating concretes, new admixtures, fiber-reinforced concrete, epoxy resins, high-capacity and automated production equipment, high-performance and high-strength concrete, and epoxy-coated and stainless steel-clad reinforcement.
The emphasis of the manual is on the technical aspects of inspection and construction, providing detailed information and reasoning behind the instructions. It is important to note that the manual does not establish construction policies, but rather interprets the policies set forth by other authorized bodies. For additional information about construction practices, readers are encouraged to refer to the ACI Manual of Concrete Practice.
It should be noted that the ACI Manual of Concrete Inspection is a general and broad resource, and specific inspection requirements for each project should be determined and included in the project specifications. It is not intended to be included by reference in contract documents.
