ACI 544.5R-10 PDF Download

The ACI 544.5R-10 standard, entitled "Report on the Physical Properties and Durability of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete," is a guide that provides information on specifying, proportioning, mixing, placing, and finishing of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). The guide acknowledges that much of the current conventional concrete practices can be applied to FRC, but it also highlights the differences between the two and provides guidance on how to address those differences.

The standard includes sample mixture proportions for FRC and provides guidance on mixing techniques to achieve uniform mixtures, placement techniques to ensure adequate consolidation, and finishing techniques to achieve satisfactory surface textures. It also includes a list of references covering topics such as proportioning, properties, applications, shotcrete technology, and general information on FRC.
