Abstract:
In the 75 years since the founding of what today is known as the American Concrete Institute, the art and science of concrete construction practices have made numerous advances. There have been halts and stumblings, new starts and fresh discoveries, and the story of methods whose time has not yet come, The authors have chosen to divide this story into the areas of mixing, quality control, transportation, and special. ty techniques using selected innovations to illustrate how we have arrived at today’s technology.
