The Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRI) in partnership with the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association, Inc. (FRSA) have been working together for over two decades on the development of installation manuals that represent proper installation practices, industry standards and the latest code requirements of roof tiles for the Florida market.
TRI Alliance and WSRCA technical committees, along with valuable input from the roofing community, revised the previous 2010 edition of this manual to create the 2015 edition. TRI Alliance and WSRCA submitted this manual for formal review and issuance of an IAPMO Uniform ES Evaluation Report (ER-2015) to help provide a stronger foundation to formal practices and recommendations included.

TRI Alliance and the Western States Roofing Contractors Association have partnered to create this new manual for cold weather installation. Designed to provide answers to installation questions from roofers, contractors, architects, and building officials, the document addresses the installation needs of cold-weather climates and is a companion to manufacturer installation guides.

The paper provides information about the current practice for the design, construction, maintenance, repair, and inspection of adjacent precast concrete box- beam bridges. These bridges provide a popular and economical solution in many states because they can be constructed rapidly and deck forming is eliminated. The bridges may be single or multiple spans. The box beams are generally connected by grout placed in a keyway between each of the units and usually with transverse ties. Partial- or full-depth keyways are typically used, incorporating grouts using various mixture proportions. Transverse ties, grouted or ungrouted, vary from a limited number of nontensioned threaded rods to several high-strength tendons, post-tensioned in multiple stages. In some cases, no topping is applied to the structure, while a noncomposite topping or a composite structural slab is added in other cases. Mostshear-key details currently used are regional standard details of uncertain origin. This information was gathered primarily from a survey of state highway agencies through the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures and a review of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.

This manual provides information on the materials and construction procedures for concrete pavements. This manual describes the constituents to be used in concrete, the procedures to be used in manufacturing concrete, and the equipment and procedures to place, texture, and cure concrete for pavements.
WBDG is a gateway to up-to-date information on integrated 'whole building' design techniques and technologies. The goal of 'Whole Building' Design is to create a successful high-performance building by applying an integrated design and team approach to the project during the planning and programming phases.
Generally, ACI standards and committee reports focus primarily on prescribed curing times or on some fraction of specified strength as quantitative criteria. Durability criteria allowances are discussed but have not been developed. There is little consideration for the specific materials or proportions of materials used in the concrete mixture, although some ACI standards consider portland cement type and rate of strength gain. There is some mention of accounting for water-cement ratio, but this is not well developed. Considerable attention is given to details of different curing methods. Temperature is mostly considered in the context of maximum and minimum allowable concrete temperatures, protection from freezing, and thermal shocks. Time-temperature considerations are dealt with in the context of cold weather and in use of the maturity method when it is allowed for predicting the time to end curing. The following paragraphs discuss each standard in some detail.
Meeks and Carino (1999) review the history of the Building Code guidance on curing.(4) Guidance in the 1995 version is relatively simple. It directs that concrete, other than high-early strength concrete, be maintained above 10 C and kept moist for at least 7 days. Curing for high-early strength concrete should be maintained for 3 days with temperatures also above 10 C. Temperature-accelerated curing is allowed, but the details must be developed by the user and durability must not be worse than when the time-based prescriptive requirements are used. For details, reference is made to ACI 308(31), ACI 306R(14) (cold weather concreting) and ACI 305R (hot weather concreting).(12)
Chapter 1 of ACI 308(31) discusses general curing needs and presents the well known nomograph relating evaporation from a free-water surface to temperature, wind velocity, and relative humidity. A value of evaporation of 1.0 kg/m2/h or more requires measures to prevent excessive moisture loss from the surface of the concrete. An evaporation rate greater than 0.5 kg/m2/h may also require some measures to control evaporation. Chapter 1 also defines the temperature limits for placing concrete. The practical lower limit is 10 C, although hydration has been shown to continue down to -10 C. The recommended upper limit is approximately the maximum temperature anticipated during service, although temperatures over 100 C are sometimes used for accelerated-curing purposes.
Chapter 2 describes various curing methods, materials, and evaluation procedures. Materials that allow extra water to be applied to the concrete (aside from the mixing water) via ponding, spraying, and continuously wetting include mats, earth, sand, sawdust, straw, and hay. Materials that simply retain mixing water include plastic sheets, treated paper, and liquid membrane-forming curing compound. ASTM C 156(18) is cited (section 2.8) as the general method to use to evaluate curing materials, although the most recent revision of this test method includes only liquid membrane-forming curing compounds. This method is discussed in detail below.
