Joints
and Bearings
are critical
components
to the proper
functioning
and serviceability
of structures.
The design,
specification,
fabrication,
installation
and maintenance
of joint
sealing
or bearing
systems
require
specialized
skills and
knowledge
of both
structural
and materials
engineering. 
|
 |
Under
the auspices
of ACI to
advance the
knowledge
of joints
and bearing
systems for
all types
of civil engineering
and building
structures
by accomplishing
the following:
(1) To identify Research and Development
needs more fully.
(2) To encourage Research and Development
investigations in the laboratory and the
field of both private and public organizations
and to seek financial support.
