You can also go to cement.org, and the standard specs for DOT's for CA, FL, OR or WA which I believe are available online....also make sure you use a well graded aggregate mix as you want as much of an even distribution of cement paste that you can achieve, without a lot of cracking.....

Do any ACI codes or standards specifically address concrete cover requirements for concrete:a. Directly exposed to seawater.b. Exposed to salt laden air (coastal structures not in direct contact with seawater).I am aware of some discussion in some ACI guides and commentaries and some requirements in European standards, but I am looking for "mandatory language" documents in the U.S.BillWilliam Sherman - CH2M HILL / DenverPrincipal Structural TechnologistStructural Global Technology Leader - Water Business Group720.286.2792
