The American Concrete Institute released several new publications in September.
503.7-07: Specification for Crack Repair by Epoxy Injection — This specification gives requirements for repairing cracks in concrete with injections of two-component epoxyresin adhesive.
ITG-4.3R-07: Report on Structural Design and Detailing for High-Strength Concrete in Moderate to High Seismic Applications — This document presents a literature review on seismic design using high-strength concrete. The document is organized in chapters addressing the structural design of columns, beams, beam-column joints, and structural walls made with high-strength concrete, and focuses on aspects most relevant for seismic design.
349-06: Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures and Commentary — This standard covers the proper design and construction of concrete structures that form part of a nuclear power plant and that have nuclear safety-related functions.
207.2R-07: Report on Thermal and Volume Change Effects on Cracking of Mass Concrete — This report presents a discussion of the effects of heat generation and volume change on the design and behavior of mass concrete elements and structures. Emphasis is placed on the effects of restraint on cracking and the effects of controlled placing temperatures, concrete strength requirements, and material properties on volume change.
