ACI 211.5R-96 Guide for Submittal of Concrete Proportions
211.5R_96 - Guide for Submittal of Concrete ProportionsAdmixture
A material apart from water, aggregate, hydraulic cement, Associate in Nursingd fiber reinforcement used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar and supplemental to the batch straight off before or throughout its compounding (ACI 116R).
Aggregate
Granular material, like sand, gravel, crushed stone, crushed hydraulic-cement concrete, or iron blast-furnace scum, used with a hydraulic cementing medium to produce either concrete or mortar (ACI 116R). Aggregate, lightweight
Aggregate of denseness
such as (a) enlarged or mould clay, shale, slate, diatomaceous shale, perlite, vermiculite, or slag; (b) natural pumice stone, scoria, volcanic cinders, tuff, and diatomite; (c) mould ash or industrial cinders, employed in light-weight concrete (ACI 116R).
Cement, hydraulic
A cement that sets and hardens by chemical interaction with water and is capable of doing therefore under water (ACI 116R).
Concrete
A material that consists primarily of a binding medium at intervals that are embedded particles or fragments of mixture, sometimes a mixture of fine mixture and coarse aggregate; in Portland cement concrete the binder is a mixture of Portland cement, and water (ACI 116R).
Fiber reinforcement
Discontinuous separate fibers created from steel, artificial (organic), glass, or natural materials, in varied shapes and sizes that are more before or during mixing of the concrete.
Water-cementitious materials
magnitude relation—The ratio of the overall amount of water, exclusive solely of that absorbed by the aggregates, to the overall mass of building material materials in a very concrete or mortar mixture (ACI 116R).
