The American Concrete Institute announces the availability of a revised edition of its master reference, plus four new titles:

  • 2006 Manual of Concrete Practice contains 180-plus ACI committee standards and reports. Arguably the most comprehensive reference set available, it covers all of the widely used ACI concrete and masonry code requirements, specifications, guides, and reports in addition to information about cracking, durability problems, temperature control, nondestructive testing, and hundreds of other topics. A full list of publications in the 2006 edition can be found at www.concrete.org. Prices begin at $619.50 (ACI members $385.00).

  • SP233: Workability of SCC Û Roles of Its Constituents and Measurement Techniques (CD-ROM) contains 10 papers on special workability of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), highlighting roles of its constituents and measurement techniques, presented during the ACI Spring 2005 Convention. Six of the papers deal with the mixture proportions and the effects of raw materials on workability; two papers discuss the rheometer testing of SCC; one paper covers form pressure; and, the final paper details the structural response of SCC frames under earthquake loading. $63.50 (ACI members $37.00).

  • 440.1R-06: Guide for the Design and Construction of Structural Concrete Reinforced with FRP Bars Û Based on knowledge gained from worldwide experimental research, analytical work, and field applications of FRP reinforcement, the guide offers information on the history and use of FRP reinforcement; a description of FRP material properties; and, guidelines for the construction and design of structural concrete members reinforced with FRP bars. $63.50 (ACI members $39.00)

  • SP 234: Seventh CANMET/ACI International Conference on Durability of Concrete Û Proceedings of the Seventh CANMET/ACI International Conference on Durability of Concrete (May 28 Û June 3, 2006, in Montreal) contain 50 papers covering corrosion inhibitors for reinforced concrete; durability of concrete with recycled fine aggregate; and, self-curing, shrinkage-free concrete. $121.50 (ACI members $73.00)

  • SP 235: Eighth CANMET/ACI International Conference on Recent Advances in Concrete Technology Û Proceedings of the Eighth CANMET/ACI International Conference on Recent Advances in Concrete Technology (May 28 Û June 2, 2006, in Montreal) contain 17 papers on self consolidating concrete mixes and other current topics. $89.50 (ACI members $53.00)
