Description

ACI SP-271 – Structural Concrete in Performance-Based Seismic Design of Bridges

This collection consists of ten papers that were presented by ACI Committee 236 at the ACI Spring convention in Chicago, IL, in 2010. Topics include Characterization of the Nanostructure and Microstructure of Concrete, Cracking Reduction, Incorporating Nanofibers into Concrete Mixtures,and Material Behavior Reinforced with Examinations at the Microstructural Level.
