    Preparing proper construction specifications for concrete parking lots has recently been made much simpler with the publication of ACI's Standard Specification for Plain Concrete Parking Lots (ACI 330.1). This standard covers the minimum requirements for the construction of plain (unreinforced) concrete parking lots on grade, including materials, placing, texturing, curing, jointing, and opening to traffic. These specifications can be included as part of the project documents by reference or by incorporating them in their entirety.

 

A copy of ACT 330.1 is available from the American Concrete Institute, P.0. Box 19150, Detroit, MI 48219 (Phone: 313-532-2600)
