variety of subjects related to concrete, 

concrete related items, such as steel 

reinforcement, properties relating to 

concrete design and construction, such 

as fire resistance, and how best to 

design and construct concrete in its 

many applications. 

Related to the material of concrete, 

ACI issues Standards on mixture 

ingredients and proportions, timedependent chemical and physical 

characteristics, and hardened properties 

of different types of concretes, such as: 

Normalweight; lightweight; 

heavyweight; soil cement; shrinkage 

compensating; no slump; pervious; selfconsolidating; high strength; shotcrete; 

plaster; polymer modified; fiber 

reinforced; roller compacted; and sulfur 

concrete.
