ACI SP-112:1989 PDF Download

ACI SP-112:1989 is a compilation of 11 papers that aim to present, examine, and promote the use of nondestructive testing techniques in concrete construction. The papers cover various topics related to nondestructive testing, including flaw detection using the impact-echo method, measurements using ultrasonic pitch-catch and pulse-echo techniques, evaluation of concrete constituents using photon radiation, diagnostics of cracks based on acoustic emission, application of acoustic emission and laser holography to study microfracture, comparative evaluation of nondestructive test methods for in-place strength determination, use of simultaneous nondestructive tests to predict compressive strength, nondestructive testing for evaluating the form removal time of a tunnel concrete lining, statistical study of the correlation between field penetration strength and field cylinder strength, early concrete strength determination by maturity, and pullout tests, maturity, and PC spreadsheet software.

The standard is designed to provide the latest information on the development and applications of nondestructive testing techniques in concrete. It is intended to be of interest to professionals working in the field of concrete construction who want to explore and utilize nondestructive testing methods to assess the quality and integrity of concrete structures without causing damage. The standard helps to expand the understanding and implementation of these techniques, contributing to safer and more efficient concrete construction practices.
