9th CANMET/ACI Int Conference on Recent Advances in Concrete Technology
Also Known As:
The 9th CANMET/ACI International Conference on Recent Advances in Concrete Technology, documented in the ACI SP-243:2007 standard, includes the proceedings of the conference held in Warsaw, Poland in May 2007. The standard consists of nine papers that cover various topics related to concrete technology. These topics include optimization of mixture proportions for different types of concrete, such as normal, high-performance, and self-consolidating concrete. The standard also explores the use of reactive powder concrete mixtures for producing thin precast elements. Additionally, it addresses issues such as efflorescence of concrete products used in interlocking block pavements.
The table of contents provides a summary of the papers included in the standard. Each paper focuses on a specific area of research and presents findings and insights related to concrete technology. Some of the topics covered include the properties of lightweight roadside safety barriers produced using foaming admixture, the effect of metakaolin and silica fume on lightweight self-consolidating concrete, and the potential of a new high tenacity monofilament polypropylene fiber in reducing plastic shrinkage. Other papers discuss the optimization of mixture proportions for different types of concrete, the evaluation of drying shrinkage of self-compacting concrete, and the validity of using a 0.45 power chart to improve the strength aspects of high-performance concrete. The standard also includes case studies on the use of innovative software for assessing cracking potential in concrete pavements and evaluates the compatibility of different superplasticizers with various cement types.
