The ACI 301-05: Specification for Structural Concrete provides a set of standards and guidelines that have been developed by The American Concrete Institute. The standards are designed to assist and inform architects and engineers in the development of new projects, and can be made applicable to any construction project. The Standards and guidelines also cover a wide range of topics, including  concrete materials, concrete treatment, and concrete repair.

This guide is an invaluable resource for any architect or engineer, and includes comprehensive information and provisions for the proportioning of concrete; reinforcing and prestressing steels; production, placing, finishing, and curing of concrete; and formwork design and construction.
