ACI SP-61:1979 PDF Download

ACI SP-61:1979 is a standard on Ferrocement - Materials and Applications. It consists of eleven papers that cover various aspects of ferrocement. The papers include an overview of the history of ferrocement, discussions on structural properties relevant to engineers, laboratory tests and research on properties, and applications of ferrocement. The standard also includes a bibliography on ferrocement materials and applications.

The papers cover topics such as design predictions of crack widths in ferrocement, study of tensile cracks and bond-slip in ferrocement, development of fibrous ferrocement, construction recommendations for ferrocement tanks, grading design of sand for ferrocement mixes, ferrocement service modules for housing, applications of ferrocement in low-cost housing in Mexico, corrugated ferrocement sheets, and research needs and the future of ferrocement.
