ACI SP-298:2014 PDF Download

ACI SP-298:2014 is a standard that contains 14 papers selected from special sessions sponsored by ACI technical committees 345 and 440 at the ACI Spring 2013 Convention. These papers focus on the concept, performance, evaluation, and repair of concrete bridges in relation to smart materials and sensors. The topics covered in the papers include experimental investigation of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM)-concrete interfacial debonding, acoustic emission corrosion monitoring of prestressed concrete bridge members, Swedish recommendations for steel fiber concrete overlays, evaluation of bridge deck impermeability using embedded wireless moisture sensors, externally bonded GFRP and NSM steel bars for improved strengthening of concrete beams, artificial intelligence approaches to health monitoring and damage detection in concrete bridge girders, non-contact strain measurements of steel reinforcement in concrete structures, evaluation of RC-arch bridges and main parameters in performance assessment, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in retrofitting of concrete structures, assessment of corrosion damage in RC columns using osmos fiber optic sensors, novel technique for displacement measurements in RC beams using digital image correlation, performance of bridge decks in cold regions and high-fidelity sensing system for damage detection, pattern-based method for defective sensors detection in an instrumented bridge, and experimental investigation into the residual bond of NSM composite strips for concrete at elevated temperatures.
