Guide for Precast Cellular Concrete Floor, Roof, and Wall Units
Also Known As:
The ACI 523.2R-96 standard provides guidance and information on various aspects of precast concrete units with low oven-dry weights. The standard covers materials, fabrication, properties, design, and handling of these units.
The standard focuses on cellular concrete units, which are characterized by having an oven-dry weight of 50 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) or less. The guide presents detailed information on the materials used in the production of these units, including aggregates, cementitious materials, water, and admixtures.
Furthermore, the standard provides guidance on the fabrication process for cellular concrete units, including mixing, molding, and curing techniques. It also discusses the properties of these units, such as compressive strength, density, thermal insulation, and acoustic performance.
In addition to material and fabrication considerations, the guide also offers design recommendations for precast cellular concrete floor, roof, and wall units. This includes load-bearing capacity, deflection limits, and connection details.
Lastly, the standard covers the handling and installation of these units, addressing transportation, storage, and erection procedures.
