| ACI has published over 400 standards, codes, committee reports, manuals, symposia, and special documents covering diverse topics such as concrete durability, mixture proportioning, construction techniques, and design of concrete structures. Major publications include ACI's Building Code (ACI 318), widely-adopted by U.S. and international code bodies, and the six-part Manual of Concrete Practice (MCP) which includes almost all of the Institute's codes, standards, and committee reports.
Latest Publications | ACI 544.3R-08 Guide for Specifying, Proportioning, and Production of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete This guide covers specifying, proportioning, mixing, placing, and finishing of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). Much of the current conventional concrete practice applies to FRC. The emphasis in the guide is to describe the differences between conventional concrete and FRC and how to deal with them. Sample mixture proportions are tabulated. Guidance is provided in the mixing techniques to achieve uniform mixtures, placement techniques to assure adequate consolidation, and finishing techniques to assure satisfactory surface textures. A listing of references is provided covering proportioning, properties, applications, shotcrete technology, and general information on FRC. view details | 
| | ACI 318-08 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary The “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete” (“Code”) covers the materials, design, and construction of structural concrete used in buildings and where applicable in nonbuildingstructures. The Code also covers the strength evaluation of existing concrete structures.
Among the subjects covered are: drawings and specifications; inspection; materials; durability requirements; concrete quality, mixing, and placing; formwork; embedded pipes; construction joints; reinforcement details; analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads; shear and torsion; development and splices of reinforcement; slab systems; walls; footings; precast concrete; composite flexural members; prestressed concrete; shells and folded plate members; strength evaluation of existing structures; provisions for seismic design; structural plain concrete; strut-and-tie modeling in Appendix A; alternative design provisions in Appendix B; alternative load and strength-reduction factors in Appendix C; and anchoring to concrete in Appendix D. view details |  | | MCP 2008 ACI Manual of Concrete Practice ACI's Manual of Concrete Practice (MCP) is the most comprehensive concrete reference set available. It contains all of the widely used ACI concrete and masonry code requirements, specifications, guides and reports. Whether you're searching for information about code requirements, deflection, cracking, durability problems, temperature control, nondestructive testing, or hundreds of other topic areas, the MCP can help you find what you need. With more than 190 documents in the set, you have access to the combined knowledge and experience of 2,000-plus ACI committee members who developed these documents. Design professionals, concrete producers, contractors, and owners will use this collection of documents for guidance in nearly all aspects of concrete design, construction, and maintenance including: 1.
| Design of reinforced concrete and masonry structures | 2.
| Design and construction of floors. | 3.
| Specification writing | 4.
| Concrete mixture proportioning | 5.
| Concrete mixing, transporting, and placing | 6.
| Hot- and cold-weather concreting | 7.
| Formwork | 8.
| Curing | 9.
| Inspection and testing | 10.
| Construction tolerances | 11.

Sources of the more than 2,000 pages of guides, specifications, and other information were provided from the following organizations:
ACI American Concrete Institute
ASCE American Society of Civil Engineers
BRE Building Research Establishment
CRC Construction Research Communications
CS Concrete Society

Designers may also find the manual to be a valuable reference by using the information to better adapt their designs to the realities of field construction. This 10th Edition incorporates new material to address these advances in technology. A list of only a few of the recent developments in materials, equipment, and processes includes: shrinkage-compensating cement, increased use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), polymer-modifies mixtures, self-consolidating concrete, new and refined admixtures, fiber-reinforced concrete, epoxy resins, high-capacity and automated concrete production equipment, high-performance and high-strength concrete, and epoxy-coated and stainless steel-clad reinforcement. The main emphasis of the manual is on the technical aspects of inspection and construction. For further information about construction practices, readers are encouraged to refer to the ACI Manual of Concrete Practice. view details |
