ACI SP-140:1993 PDF Download

ACI SP-140:1993 is a standard that focuses on high performance concrete in severe environments. The standard recognizes the need for concrete with exceptional performance characteristics and aims to encourage the development and implementation of such technology. The standard defines high performance concrete as concrete that meets special performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be achieved routinely with conventional materials and practices.

The standard emphasizes field applications and includes 14 papers, of which 13 are scheduled for presentation at the symposium. These papers cover a range of topics related to high performance concrete, including its use in bridges, construction of buildings, reinforced concrete structures, and nuclear reactors, as well as its durability in severe environments such as chemical attack and underwater conditions.
