The circular concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) system is an alternative to traditional reinforced concrete structures. The pre-cured FRP tube, which comprises layers of engineered fibers oriented in different directions, provides a corrosion-resistant stay-in-place structural form to retain freshly cast concrete that speeds up construction while at the same time provides primary reinforcement in the two orthogonal directions instead of traditional longitudinal steel reinforcing bar, ties, and stirrups. Typical applications of CFFT include piles, columns, and poles used in building and bridge construction. The FRP tube provides confinement and environmental protection of the concrete core, increasing its strength, ductility, and durability, as well as protection of the minimum internal steel reinforcement. Due to the unique characteristics of CFFTs in which reinforcement in the orthogonal directions are integrated into one continuous membrane—namely, the tube—specific guidance on the design of members using this system is needed. This guide provides general information and background of CFFT technology, including applications and limitations, characteristics of circular FRP tubes, and the interface bond between tube and concrete. The guide provides provisions for design for flexure, axial load, shear, combined loading, connections, and a design approach aimed at mitigating the risk of accidental tube loss. This guide is based on the knowledge gained from experimental research, analytical work, and field applications of CFFTs.

This guide presents information on selection and use of normalweight and heavyweight aggregates in concrete. The selection and use of aggregates in concrete should be based on technical criteria as well as economic considerations and knowledge of types of aggregates generally available in the area of construction. The properties of aggregates and their processing and handling influence the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. The effectiveness of processing, stockpiling, and aggregate quality control procedures will affect batch-to-batch and day-to-day variation in the properties of concrete. Aggregates that do not comply with the specification requirements may be suitable for use if the properties of the concrete using these aggregates are acceptable, as per Chapter 6. Materials that can be recycled or produced from waste products are potential sources of concrete aggregates; however, special evaluation may be necessary.

This reference specification covers quality assurance inspection services for preplacement, placement, and post-placement of concrete construction. This reference specification can be made applicable to a particular construction project by citing it in the inspection services contract. The specifier shall supplement the provisions of this reference specification as needed by specifying individual project requirements in the inspection services contract.
The materials, processes, quality control measures, and inspections described in this Specification should be tested, monitored, or performed as applicable only by individuals holding the appropriate ACI Certifications or equivalent.
