Concrete Manual: 2009 IBC and ACI 318-08

This classic text on concrete quality and field practices has been updated to the 2009 IBC® and ACI 318-08. The manual provides the inspector with an understanding of the scientific principles that underlie sound practices and will assist the inspector in making rational rather than arbitrary decisions. The Concrete Manual provides the guidance and information that inspectors and related professionals need to become more proficient and professional in relating to concrete field practices and inspection. The information provided will increase the technical capabilities of jurisdictional inspectors in the performance of their inspection duties.

The Concrete Manual serves as a valuable reference to assist the special inspector in performing the duties and responsibilities of special inspection for reinforced and prestressed concrete construction.
