Field Reference Manual
Also Known As:
The Field Reference Manual is a comprehensive resource provided by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) that consolidates important information for contractors and workers involved in concrete construction. It is specifically designed to complement the ACI 301-20 Specifications for Concrete Construction, and includes additional content from various ACI documents.
The manual covers a wide range of topics related to concrete construction, including measuring, mixing, transporting, and placing concrete. It also provides detailed guidance on concrete pumping methods, as well as best practices for hot- and cold-weather concreting. The manual addresses key aspects such as consolidation and concrete formwork, offering valuable insights and instructions for achieving quality results.
ACI 301-20 mandates that the contractor have a copy of this manual available in the field office for any project where ACI 301 is specified. This requirement underscores the importance of having this resource readily accessible to ensure compliance with industry standards and to facilitate proper concrete construction practices on-site.
