American Concrete Institute Announces New Publications and CD-ROMs

November 25, 2009

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI - The American Concrete Institute (ACI) announces the availability of four new publications and CD-ROMs to educate and inform industry professionals on the newest concrete-related information and technology.  As always, ACI members receive a special discount (up to 40 percent) on all ACI publications.  Publications can be ordered by calling 248-848-3800 or online at www.concrete.org.  

ACI Design Handbook (SP-17(09))
This publication provides information for the engineering design and analysis of beams, one-way slabs, footings, pile caps, columns, and seismic design in accordance with ACI 318-05. Information is presented in three sections: Explanatory Material, Design Examples, and Design Aids. The introduction of each chapter includes explanatory material that provides the engineer with concise background of the subject. The Design Examples illustrate the use of the Design Aids, which are tables and graphs intended to eliminate routine and repetitious calculations.

Report on Steel Reinforcement - Material Properties and U.S. Availability (439.4R-09)
The material properties of the various types of steel reinforcement produced for use in the U.S. are described. Types of steel reinforcement defined in this report include deformed reinforcing bars, plain and deformed wire, welded wire reinforcement, bar mats, and prestressing reinforcement. The requirements, restrictions, and testing information of the pertinent ASTM specifications are reviewed. The availability of the various types and sizes of reinforcement in the U.S. is discussed.

"This document provides significant information with regard to the physical properties of various steel reinforcement products," said Mark Marvin, chair of ACI Committee 439, Steel Reinforcement.   "It should be reviewed and used by specifiers, contractors, and suppliers for a complete understanding of the properties as well as the availability of the outlined products."
