This is one of six books in the Concrete Craftsman Series published by the American Concrete Institute. This book is intended for anyone who wants an introduction to concrete and concrete construction. Craftsmen in the concrete field may find it particularly useful as a guide for good practice. Two other books in this series cover common concrete
Findings from the case studies relating to compressive strength, pumping, pumpability, workability, congested cages, lateral pressure on formwork, elastic modulus, shrinkage, creep, mass...
Prestressed concrete is one of the most reliable, durable, and widely used construction materials in building and bridge projects around the world. It has made significant contributions to the construction industry, the precast manufacturing industry, and the cement industry as a whole.
24 sie 2023 · Civil engineering structures are designed to sustain various types of loads and possible combinations of loads that could act on them during their lifetime. Accurate estimation of the magnitudes of these loads is a very important aspect of the structural analysis process.

15 sty 2014 · Understanding the complex interactions of the building pressure field - the air pressure regime within and surrounding the building - helps explain the increasingly common failures related to: indoor air quality, sick building syndrome, building related illness; smoke and fire spread; condensation, corrosion, decay and mold;
for any pressure but authoritative sources, such as the American Concrete Institute, suggest a minimum design pressure of 600 pounds per square foot (psf) (CSA requires a 1000 pound minimum in Canada). The following formula provides a rough estimate of the pressure from liquid concrete: p = 150 x h and: h = p/150 . where:
