Sinopsis

Comprehensive standards for reinforced concrete construction and materials. This edition provides practical guidelines and requirements to help engineers, contractors, and inspectors deliver durable, well-built reinforced concrete structures.

This reference covers the full spectrum of design, materials, and workmanship. It explains acceptable materials, mix proportions, fireproofing and waterproofing methods, jointing and erection practices, and quality control through testing and inspection. Clear rules on reinforcement sizing, splicing, placement, and field connections help ensure safety and performance in bridges, buildings, and other structures.


  • How to select and test cement, aggregates, and concrete mixes for maximum strength and density.

  • Standards for reinforcing bars, splices, spacing, and sleeve or eye-bar details.

  • Guidance on fireproofing, waterproofing, and weatherproofing using approved coatings and materials.

  • Procedures for joints, expansion joints, erection, and field workmanship to maintain integrity.



Ideal for readers of civil and structural engineering, construction management, and inspection roles who need reliable, field-ready specifications and practices.

Excerpt from Standard Specifications: For Structural Steel Timber Concrete and Reinforced Concrete

A serious attempt has been made to incorporate into one volume a set of ten specifications, which not only cover the most important materials used in construction work of any magnitude, but which are condensed so as to avoid unnecessary repetitions, are consistent throughout, and which, at the same time, conform in every essential to the latest experiments and investigations, to the best authorities, to modem practice, and to the author's own considerable experience.

Of new matter, particular attention is called to the specifications for reinforced concrete, as these are rather extensive, probably the first complete set in existence.

To facilitate the use of all specifications, the subject matter in each has been arranged, as nearly as possible, in the order, or rotation, in which the information is wanted.

Any designs made, or structures built in strict accordance with these specifications will insure first-class details, excellent materials, and creditable workmanship, as well as safety, durability, and economy. Hence they are designed to be equally well suited to the needs of engineers, architects, contractors, college professors and their students.

In the body of the specifications credit has been accorded to authorities, when quoted, to whom thanks are due. Thanks are also due to Francis P. Wittmer, M. Am. Soc. C.E., and others for many valuable suggestions.
