This Code prescribes testing programs and evaluation requirements for post-installed reinforcing bars intended for use in concrete under the straight-bar development and splice length design provisions of ACI CODE-318. Testing and assessment criteria are provided for various conditions of use, including seismic loading, sustained loading, aggressive environments, and reduced and elevated temperatures. Criteria are provided for establishing the required characteristic bond strength, reductions for adverse conditions, and associated job-site quality control requirements.

Waterfront and coastal concrete marine structures are exposed to severe environmental conditions for which concrete is ideally suited. These conditions include wind; waves, including seiches and tsunamis; ice and ship impact; abrasion and impact from floating debris; passing vessel effects; and seismic events. As many of these structures are pile-supported, the seismic loading can be critical and, therefore, a discussion of piles and their installation is included in this guide. Also provided are the measures that can be taken to minimize the undesirable effects of these environmental factors and reduce the potential for serious problems.
This guide also defines waterfront and coastal concrete marine structures, discusses materials that can be used to construct them, describes potential durability issues and how to mitigate them, and presents sustainability and serviceability requirements. Design loads, analysis techniques, design methodology, and construction considerations are also presented. Other topics include quality control (QC), above-water and below-water inspection of these structures, and repair of damaged structures. The materials, processes, QC measures, and inspections described in this guide should be tested, monitored, or performed as applicable only by qualified individuals holding the appropriate ACI certifications or equivalent.

This report provides information on the use of both bonded and unbonded concrete overlay solutions for the rehabilitation of concrete and asphalt pavements. Information is provided on the characteristics of each overlay type along with important design and construction considerations. Critical considerations are provided for the selection of the appropriate overlay type to meet the needs and condition of the project.

Type IL (pronounced “one-el”) portland-limestone cements were introduced in ASTM C595/C595M and AASHTO M 240 standard specifications for blended cements in 2012. These cements contain between 5 and 15% limestone, compared to the 5% maximum limestone content of ASTM C150/AASHTO M 85 portland cements. Type IL cements perform comparably to portland cements and do so with up to 10% lower CO2 emissions per ton of cement. Although portland-limestone cements have been available in other parts of the world, the availability and adoption of these cements in practice have only recently become widespread in the United States (as of 2022) (Schexnayder 2022). Many specifiers may have limited experience in incorporating these cements into project specifications.
