It is recommended that the most recent reports from the following American
Concrete Institute (ACI) committees be consulted. These ACI documents discuss
the amounts of calcium chloride that are allowed in concrete under
various exposure conditions and they review certain conditions, in which calcium
chloride should not be used.
