ACI 126.3R-99

The purpose of this guide is to facilitate efficient storage and retrieval of information about concrete and its constituents with a computer and allow meaningful comparison of data from different sources. It is intended for use by those responsible for planning and maintaining data into a concrete materials property databaseas well as those who enter data.

ACI Committee 126 developed this guide to be consistent with the principles of ASTM Committee E49, Computerization of Material and Chemical Property Data.
