ACI SP-307:2016 PDF Download

ACI SP-307:2016 is a publication that focuses on the topic of shrinkage compensating concrete. It consists of a collection of papers that were presented at the ACI National Convention in Toronto, Canada. These papers cover various aspects of shrinkage compensating concrete, including its history, behavior under different forms of mechanical restraint, dimensional stability of concrete slabs on the ground, extending joint spacing, and its use in bridge construction and concrete repair.

The publication is dedicated to Edward K. Rice, who has been involved in shrinkage compensating concrete since its inception. Rice, a co-founder and president of T.Y. Lin and Associates, played a crucial role in promoting the use of concrete and concrete systems. He funded fundamental research on expansive cements in the 1950s and was instrumental in the production of the first shrinkage compensating concrete clinker in the world. Rice has continued to work on advancing concrete cement technology and has been a strong advocate for increased research and use of shrinkage compensating concrete.
