Abstract:
Currently, about 50% of all ready mixed concrete in the United States is produced using Type IL cement. However, in comparison to mixtures with Type I/II cement, there is a lack of information concerning constructability with such mixtures. To create a knowledge base, with a grant from the ACI Foundation, the American Society of Concrete Contractors and Giatec Scientific Inc. are collecting design characteristics of well-performing mixtures with Type IL cement for interior, non-air-entrained concrete floor slabs.
