This manual is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendants, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers. Designers may also find the manual to be a valuable reference by using the information to better adapt their designs to the realities of field construction. Because of the diverse possible uses of the manual and the varied backgrounds of the readers, it includes the reasoning behind the technical instructions.

This specification is a reference specification that the Architect/Engineer can make applicable to any construction project by citing it in the Project Specification. The Architect/Engineer uses and supplements the provisions of this reference specification as needed by designating or specifying individual project requirements to which provisions of this specification apply.

ACI 308.1M-11 - Standard Specification for Curing Concrete

A clear understanding of the effects of torsion on concrete members is essential to the safe, economical design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members. This report begins with a brief and systematic summary of the 180-year history of torsion of structural concrete members, new and updated theories and their applications, and a historical overview outlining the development of research on torsion of structural concrete members. Historical theories and truss models include classical theories of Navier, Saint-Venant, and Bredt; the three-dimensional (3-D) space truss of Rausch; the equilibrium (plasticity) truss model of Nielson as well as Lampert and Thurlimann; the compression field theory (CFT) by Collins and Mitchell; and the softened truss model (STM) by Hsu and Mo. 
This report emphasizes that it is essential to the analysis of torsion in reinforced concrete that members should: 1) satisfy the equilibrium condition (Mohr's stress circle); 2) obey the compatibility condition (Mohr's strain circle); and 3) establish the constitutive relationships of materials such as the 'softened' stress-strain relationship of concrete and 'smeared' stress-strain relationship of steel bars.

ACI 445.1R-12 - Report on Torsion in Structural Concrete

This standard covers the proper design and construction of concrete structures that form part of a nuclear power plant and that have nuclear safety-related functions, but does not cover concrete reactor vessels and concrete containment structures (as defined by Joint ACI-ASME Committee 359). 
The structures covered by the Code include concrete structures inside and outside the containment system. 
This Code may be referenced and applied subject to agreement between the owner and the Regulatory Authority. 
All notation sections have been removed from the beginning of each chapter and consolidated into one list in Chapter 2. 
The format of this Code is based on the “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318M-08)” and incorporates recent revisions of that standard. 
The commentary, which is presented after the Code, discusses some of the considerations of ACI Committee 349 in developing “Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures (ACI 349M-13).” This information is provided in the commentary because the Code is written as a legal document and therefore cannot present background details or suggestions for carrying out its requirements.

Objectives of safety, quality, and economy are given priority in these guidelines for formwork. A section on contract documents explains the kind and amount of specification guidance the engineer/ architect should provide for the contractor. The remainder of the guide advises the formwork engineer/contractor on the best ways to meet the specification requirements safely and economically. Separate chapters deal with design, construction, and materials for formwork. Considerations specific to architectural concrete are also outlined in a separate chapter. Other sections are devoted to formwork for bridges, shells, mass concrete, and underground work. The concluding chapter on formwork for special methods of construction includes slipforming, preplaced-aggregate concrete, tremie concrete, precast concrete, and prestressed concrete.
