ACI SP-105:1987 PDF Download

ACI SP-105:1987 is a comprehensive standard that provides valuable knowledge and guidelines for the design and construction of advanced concrete structures. Fiber reinforced concrete has a wide range of applications and can be enhanced by incorporating fibers made of steel, glass, or polymer into the concrete mix.

The standard emphasizes that fibers can be added to concrete in various ways, such as through a ready-mix truck, conventional casting methods, or by spraying a mortar slurry to form thin precast panels. The use of new fibers, manufacturing techniques, fabrication methods, and innovative applications is continuously being developed and explored.

The document consists of 29 papers divided into five main sections: fracture and mechanical properties, polymer and glass fiber reinforced concrete, steel fiber reinforced concrete, pavements, and structural behavior. Each section delves into specific topics in great detail, such as failure mechanisms and fracture of fiber reinforced concrete, fiber reinforced soil-cement, creep behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete with silica fume, development of lightweight and durable fiberglass-reinforced concrete, flexural fatigue strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete, and the flexural behavior and design of reinforced fiber concrete members.
