The American Concrete Institute announces the availability of several new publications and CD-ROMs.
440R-07: Report on Fiber-reinforced Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete Structures — In addition to the material properties of constituent materials (that is, resins and fibers) and products, this document offers up-to-date knowledge of fiber-reinforced polymer applications, such as internal reinforcement and structural systems. The document also addresses durability issues and the effects of extreme events, such as fire and blast.
548.8-07: Specification for Type EM (Epoxy Multi-Layer) Polymer Overlay for Bridge and Parking Garage Decks — This specification deals with epoxy multilayer polymer overlays, which incorporate a low-modulus epoxy binder and selected aggregate to produce a flexible, skid-resistant and waterproof overlay.
IPS-2: Seismic Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures — This publication states the results of an investigation into seismic rehabilitation methods and various evaluation processes. This publication also includes 16 research papers presented in June 2000 at a technical meeting held in Japan on the Evaluation of Seismic Rehabilitation.
SP-246CD: Structural Implications of Shrinkage and Creep of Concrete CD-ROM — This is a collection of papers prepared for a session held at the ACI Fall 2007 Convention in Puerto Rico.
SP-247CD: Self-Consolidating Concrete for Precast Prestressed Applications CD-ROM — This is a collection of papers prepared for a session held at the ACI Fall 2007 Convention in Puerto Rico.
SP-248CD: Deflection and Stiffness Issues in FRC and Thin Structural Elements CD-ROM — This is a collection of papers organized for a session held at the ACI Fall 2007 Convention. They relate to material behavior and the structural implications of using fiber-reinforced concrete. They focus on the benefits of using fibers to enhance stiffness and reduce deflection of FRC members both with and without reinforcement.
