Standard Practice for Selecting Proportions for Normal, Heavyweight, and Mass Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI 211.1-91 (R2009) is a standard practice that provides guidelines for selecting and adjusting proportions for normal, heavyweight, and mass concrete. The standard takes into consideration various factors such as the desired placability, consistency, strength, and durability of the concrete mix.
The standard outlines procedures for proportioning the concrete mix in order to meet specific project requirements. It emphasizes the importance of considering the characteristics and properties of the materials used in the mix, as well as the desired performance of the hardened concrete.
ACI 211.1-91 (R2009) also provides example calculations to illustrate the process of selecting proportions for different types of concrete. These calculations help engineers and concrete practitioners to determine the appropriate mix design based on the specified requirements and conditions.
