14 cze 2023 · Mass concrete is any volume of concrete with dimensions large enough to require that measures be taken to cope with the generation of heat from hydration of the cement and attendant volume change to minimize cracking.
Mass concrete is a term associated with the large in-situ concrete poured structures like dams, bridge piers, foundations of a large building, and large concrete placements (minimum 1 m deep). This article explains the important features and composition of mass concrete as per the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
Table 2 lists calculated U-factors and R-values of various thicknesses of concrete masonry walls, for concrete densities of 85 to 135 lb/ft3 (1,362 to 2,163 kg/m3), with various core fills.
tensioned concrete, shrinkage-compensating concrete for interior slabs, industrial floor slabs, tilt-up construction, precast structural concrete, and precast architectural concrete.

Architects and contractors must navigate a maze of health and safety regulations when designing commercial kitchens. Here's a concise list of the standards that govern commercial kitchen construction:
The following is a design guide for selecting proportions for initial concrete mix design for normal weight concrete. This guide references ACI 211.1-91 (Reapproved 2009), “Standard Practice for Selecting Proportions for Normal, Heavy weight, and Mass Concrete”, specifically Chapter 6, “Procedure” and Appendix 1, “Metric (SI) System
