ACI SP-44:1974 PDF Download

The ACI SP-44:1974 standard is a collection of 29 papers written by authors from 6 countries. These papers discuss the properties and applications of fiber reinforced concrete, with a focus on two main categories.

The first category emphasizes the mechanics and properties of steel or glass reinforced concrete and mortar. Topics covered include the effect of fiber reinforcements on the rheological properties of concrete mixes, the fracture toughness of fiber reinforced concrete, and the strength and behavior of steel fiber reinforced lightweight concrete.

The second category describes developments in the application of fiber reinforced concrete in various structural units. This includes its use in pavements, block walls, and prefabrication of structural units. The standard also discusses practical structural applications of steel fiber reinforced concrete and provides insights into handling and placing fibrous concretes.
