ACI SP-171:1997 is a standard that emerged from the Third CANMET/ACI International Symposium on Advances in Concrete Technology, which was sponsored by CANMET, the American Concrete Institute, and other organizations in Canada and New Zealand. The symposium aimed to bring together industry representatives, academics, and government agencies to share the latest information in the field of concrete technology and identify areas for future research and development.

The standard includes a collection of papers presented at the symposium, covering various topics related to concrete technology. The Table of Contents lists the titles of the papers, which include discussions on the use of fly ash and slag in concrete, quality management plans for concrete structures, water sorptivity of heat-cured concrete, and the role of the transition zone in high-performance concrete, among others. The papers cover a range of subjects, including durability and strength, high-performance concrete, lightweight concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and concrete incorporating alternative materials.
