ACI MCP SET, 2017 Edition, 2017 - Manual of Concrete Practice - 8 Volume Set The ACI MANUAL OF CONCRETE PRACTICE (MCP) is the most comprehensive concrete reference set available. It contains all of the widely used ACI concrete and masonry code requirements, specifications, guides and reports. ACI MANUAL OF CONCRETE INSPECTION. This book is for the guidance, assistance, and instruction of concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction, such as field engineers, construction superintendents, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians and inspectors, and workers.
ACI-SP-2(07) Manual of Concrete Inspection is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendants, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers. Designers may also find the manual to be a valuable reference by using the information to better adapt their designs to the realities of field construction. Because of the diverse possible uses of the manual and the varied backgrounds of the readers, it includes the reasoning behind the technical instructions.
The field of concrete construction has expanded dramatically over the years to reflect the many advances that have taken place in the concrete industry. Although many of the fundamentals presented in previous editions of this manual remain relevant and technically correct, this tenth edition incorporates new material to address these advances in technology. A list of only a few of the recent developments in materials, equipment, and processes includes:
- Shrinkage-compensating cement;
- Increased use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs);
- Polymer-modified mixtures;
- Self-consolidating concretes;
- New and refined admixtures;
- Fiber-reinforced concrete;
- Epoxy resins;
- High-capacity and automated production equipment;
- High-performance and high-strength concrete; and
- Epoxy-coated and stainless steel-clad reinforcement.
The need to cover new issues affecting inspection is the reason ACI Committee 311 continues to revise the ACI Manual of Concrete Inspection. In preparing this edition of the manual, as with previous editions, the committee's task was to interpret the policies set forth by other authorized bodies rather than to make policy on construction practices. The main emphasis of the manual is on the technical aspects of inspection and construction. For further information about construction practices, readers are encouraged to refer to the ACI Manual of Concrete Practice.
Because the content of this manual is general and broad in nature, no part of the manual should be included by reference in contract documents. Applicable inspection requirements for each project should be determined and included in the specifications.

Guide for Concrete Inspection
Concrete Inspection Handbook
This book is for the guidance, assistance, and instruction of concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction, such as field engineers, construction superintendents, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians and inspectors, and workers. Because of the diverse possible uses of the manual, and the varied backgrounds of the readers, it includes the reasons behind the technical instructions. Except for the seventh edition, each previous edition included a series of minor revisions over the previous edition. The seventh edition was completely rewritten. This eighth edition was revised where deemed necessary or required due to changes in reference documents. As before, the main emphasis of the manual is on the technical aspects of inspection and construction. Administrative factors of inspection are generally limited to the first chapter. There are 23 chapters: (1) Inspection and the Inspector; (2) Statistical Concepts for Quality Assurance; (3) Inspection and Testing of Materials; (4) Handling and Storage of Materials; (5) Fundamentals of Concrete; (6) Concrete Mixes - Proportioning and Control; (7) Batching and Mixing; (8) Inspection before Concreting; (9) Concreting Operations; (10) Curing, Protection, Form Removal, and Reshoring; (11) Correction of Defects in Newly Hardened Concrete and Repairs of Older Concrete; (12) Slabs for Buildings; (13) Pavement Slabs and Bridge Decks; (14) Architectural Concrete; (15) Special Concreting Methods; (16) Special Types of Concrete; (17) Precast and Prestressed Concrete; (18) Construction Related to Concreting; (19) Testing of Concrete and Aggregates; (20) Records and Reports; (21) References; (22) Standards, Specifications, Test Methods, and Reports; and (23) Checklist of Inspection. The Appendix includes the (1) Guide for Concrete Inspection (ACI 311.4R-80) (Revised 1984) and (2) Batch Plant Inspection and Field Testing of Ready-Mixed Concrete (ACI 311.5R-88). A metric conversion table and and index are provided.
