NRMCA Updates CIPs, Also Introduce New Topic

The NRMCA Research, Engineering and Standards (RES) Committee periodically updates technical publications as needed. The following topics in the Concrete in Practice (CIP) series have been revised:

• CIP 26 – Jobsite Addition of Water
• CIP 30 – Supplementary Cementitious Materials
• CIP 31 – Ordering Ready Mixed Concrete
• CIP 45 – Portland-Limestone Cement (PLC)

The committee also developed and approved a new topic that discusses EPDs for concrete in a concise format applicable to the CIP series: What are EPDs, how are they developed, why and how are they used

• CIP 46 – Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)

CIP topics can be purchased in multiple copies of a single topic, single set of all topics or multiple collated sets of all topics. Printed CIPs are used by NRMCA members as a convenient and brief discussion of specific topics for distribution to users of ready mixed concrete.

CIPs can be viewed and purchased here. For more information contact Jacques Jenkins.
