“Cementitious Materials for Concrete,” discusses commonly used cementitious materials for concrete and describes the base use of these materials. Part 2 covers the material in Chapters 5 – 10 of the E-3(25) Cementitious Materials for Concrete document. It is targeted at those in the concrete industry not involved in determining the specific mixture proportions of concrete or in measuring the properties of the concrete. Students, craftsmen, inspectors, and contractors may find this a valuable introduction to a complex topic. This document was developed by ACI Committee E701 and approved by the ACI Educational Activities Committee.
