8、y the American Concrete Institute. This booklet is intended for anyone who wants a simple intro- duction to concrete and concrete construction. Craftsmen in the concrete field may find it particularly useful as a guide for good practice. The first booklet in this series, Slabs on Grade, CCS-1 covere
9、d good construction practices for slabs. The second booklet, Cast-in-Place Walls, CCS-2 described formwork, reinforcement, placing of concrete, curing, and wali finishes. The third booklet, Supported Beams and Slabs, CCS-3 provided technical background on such subjects as shoring, reshoring, form re
10、moval, reinforcement place- ment, and concrete placing, finishing, and curing. Since this book went back to cover the fundamentals, it is numbered accordingly. Concrete Fundamentais, CCS-O starts with the most basic question of ali, “What is con- crete?“ Sections then cover materials, basic construc
11、tion practices, and testing. This booklet is the perfect starting point for someone in the concrete industry, whether they be an apprentice, a journeyman, a foreman, a material supplier, or even a young engineer without field exper- ience. This booklet is not a design aid but rather a guide to good
12、practice. The design of concrete structures is the responsibility of a professional engineer. Designs are usualiy reviewed and approved by local building authorities and are gov- erned by codes such as the Uniform Building Code, Stan- dard Building Code, BOCA Code, or others which usually reference
13、the “AC1 Building Code for Reinforced Con- crete, AC1 318.“ This booklet is not a replacement for any of these documents. It must be kept in mind that plans and specifications for a specific project, and local building code requirements in any area, must be foliowed, even if they differ from the inf
14、ormation in this booklet.

15、n ap- plied to concrete. To help with these meanings, weve listed some of the terms that appear in this book, along with brief definitions. For longer definitions and for other words not included here, see “Cement and Concrete Ter- minology (AC1 116R),” published by the American Con- crete Institute

37、oncrete should know what con- crete is made of and how it behaves. They should know the basic properties of concrete and they should also recognize safety precautions needed to protect themselves and other workers when they are placing and finishing concrete. Unlike other building materials that are
38、 delivered ready-to-use, concrete has to be manufactured at or near the job site just before it is used. This makes the work of the concrete craftsman doubly important to the success of the construction project. Understanding the basics should help workers to pro- duce better concrete. This book wil
39、l introduce you to the basics. To learn more; you may want to study some of the references shown in the appendix (page 93). Three impor- tant sources, frequently referenced in this book by their initials, are: American Concrete Institute (ACI): prepares codes, standards, and guides for design and co
40、nstruction in con- crete. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): prepares specifications and test methods for concrete materials and ready-mixed concrete. Portland Cement Association (KA): has many publi- cations explaining how to get good concrete and how to build with it. What is concr
41、ete? Concrete is a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates (stone or sand). Nonnul-weight concrete, the concrete most commonly used for structural purposes, weighs about 140- 150 lb per CU ft. Lightweight structural concrete may weigh 100-110 lb per CU ft or less, while special heavyweight concrete
42、s weigh 180-400 lb per CU ft, or more. Most concretes today are made with portland cement. Sometimes we talk about concrete as a mixture of two major components: aggregates and paste. The paste, made of cement and water, binds the aggregates into a rock-like mass as the paste hardens (see Fig. 1.1).
43、 The hardening is a chemical process called hydration, not a drying process, and it can take place under water as well as when exposed to air. Concrete does not harden or cure by drying, be- cause the cement needs moisture to hydrate and harden. When the concrete dries fully it no longer gains stren

Workers sometimes refer to the mixture of cement, wa- ter and aggregates as cement, but this is technically wrong. 5 AC1 CCS-O 93 0662949 0513997 748 6 CEMENT 10%) AIR 5% AGGREGATE Fig. 1.2-Proportions by absolute volume of materials in a typical air-entrained concrete, freshly mixed.

En- trapped air voids are usually scattered, comparable in size to the larger grains of sand. Often the paste also contains AC1 CCS-O 93 Obb2949 053

This happens because con- crete is the cheapest, most readily available material. Fortunately, it is also strong
49、, resistant to water and fire, and readily formable to an infinite variety of sizes and shapes. Concrete has been used to build some of the largest and tallest of all manmade structures. For example the CN Tower, the worlds tallest free-standing manmade object, has a concrete structure 1465 feet tall to support an antenna mast that reaches 1815 feet. Although the buk of conventional concrete has com- pressive strength in the range of 3000 to 6000 psi (pounds per square in.), continuing advances in concrete tech- nology are making ever-higher strengths available.
