The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is to host a press conference on 22 January at World of Concrete 2019 to announce news on its Concrete Repair Subscription. It will also discuss the fourth edition of the Contractor’s Guide to Quality Construction, published jointly with the American Society of Concrete Contractors.
The session will take place at 1.00pm at the Las Vegas Convention Center and will be open to the media and registered attendees at World of Concrete.
ACI will also talk about its construction award and certification award.
In December 2018, ACI announced its plans to release the fourth edition of the guide, which covers proven practices to produce quality concrete construction.
The document's content includes planning for quality, concrete mixtures, specifications, foundations, formwork, reinforcement and embedments in structures, joints and reinforcement for slabs-on-ground, preparing for concreting, concrete placing and finishing, common field problems and safety and legal issues.
ACI said the new guide is 100 pages longer than the previous edition and comes with full-colour photos and illustrations, 43 Position Statements from ASCC on ACI’s Certification programmes as well as an appendix which introduces several legal issues of interest to concrete contractors.
