A nonprofit technical society that publishes standards, guides and training about concrete design, repair and construction.
The American Concrete Institute, usually called ACI, describes itself as a nonprofit technical and educational society for concrete. It publishes standards, technical guides and education materials used by engineers, contractors and building officials. A garage floor coating sits on concrete, so how that concrete was placed, cured and finished matters a great deal. Homeowners and builders in Nashville who want to understand cracks, curing or surface finish can find helpful background in ACI materials.
We are an independent garage floor company and are not part of ACI. We use public concrete information as background and send you to the official site to read more. For structural questions we recommend a qualified engineer of your choosing, and for coating questions we explain what we see on your own floor and what it means for the system we propose.
