ACI 440.6-08 PDF Download

ACI 440.6-08 is a standard specification that outlines the guidelines for the testing, evaluation, and acceptance of carbon and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars used as reinforcement for concrete.

The standard provides detailed provisions to ensure that the FRP bars meet the necessary quality and performance requirements. These provisions cover various aspects such as testing methods, material properties, dimensions, tolerances, and surface characteristics of the FRP bars.

By specifying the testing and evaluation procedures, the standard ensures that the FRP bars are thoroughly examined for their mechanical properties, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. This helps in ensuring the long-term performance and safety of the reinforced concrete structures.
