混凝土工匠可以极大地影响成品的质量、耐久性和外观。本手册来自ACI混凝土工匠系列，介绍了对混凝土工匠有用的混凝土信息，主要涉及与地面混凝土板相关的施工实践。这些信息可用于培训混凝土工匠，对于那些有兴趣获得ACI认证的饰面师证书的人尤其有用。本手册中的信息是良好实践指南，但不取代任何项目的计划和规范中的规定。如果计划和规范中的规定与本手册中给出的指南不同，请与设计专业人员讨论差异。有关更多详细信息，请参阅ACI 302.1R《混凝土楼板施工指南》和本手册参考章节中列出的其他文件。本手册之前的版本包含了大量关于混凝土材料和测试的信息。 有关材料和测试信息的更多内容，读者可参考美国混凝土承包商协会（ASCC）和ACI联合出版的承包商质量混凝土施工指南（ASCC-1）。本手册于1982年在ACI教育活动委员会的指导下首次发布，是ACI混凝土工匠系列的第一本书。1994年批准并发行了第二版。自1987年ACI启动混凝土平板饰面工/技术员认证计划以来，ACI一直将本文件作为该计划的主要参考。该认证计划旨在为认证混凝土饰面师提供依据，并提高混凝土施工质量。由于项目的增长，超过7500人已成为认证的混凝土平面修整工/技术员。一些主要零售商现在规定，为他们的商店建造混凝土地板的承包商在现场有经过认证的ACI平面装修工进行施工。 ACI委员会301《混凝土规范》在正式承认使用ACI认证的修整工和技术人员的价值方面迈出了重要一步，2002年，他们批准了ACI 301《混凝土规范》中的语言，其中部分规定，“除非另有许可，至少一名饰面工或饰面主管应为ACI平面工程的认证饰面工/技术员或ACI CP-10或同等标准中定义的认证平面工程技术员。”这是ACI 301委员会第一次纳入要求使用合格的平面饰面进行混凝土浇筑的语言。ARCOM是美国建筑师协会的合作伙伴，其MASTERSPEC®规范系统中还包括可选语言，要求现浇混凝土安装工必须是经过认证的ACI平面工程修整工和技术员，安装主管也必须是经过认证的ACI平面工程技术员。

The concrete craftsman can greatly influence the quality, durability, and appearance of the finished product. This manual from the ACI Concrete Craftsman Series presents information on concrete that should be useful to concrete craftsmen and deals mainly with construction practices relating to slabs-on-ground. This information can be used to train concrete craftsmen and is especially useful for those interested in earning credentials as ACI certified finishers.Information in this manual is a guide to good practice but does not supersede the provisions in the plans and specifications for any project. If provisions in the plans and specifications vary from the guidance given in this manual, discuss the variances with the design professional. For more detailed information, also read ACI 302.1R, "Guide for Concrete Floorand Slab Construction," and other documents listed in the reference section of this manual. Prior editions of this manual included a considerable amount of information on concrete materials and testing. For expanded coverage of materials and testing information, the reader is referred to The Contracto's Guide to Quality Concrete Construction (ASCC-1), published jointly by the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC) and ACI.This manual was first issued under the guidance of the ACI Educational Activities Committee in 1982 as the first book in the ACI Concrete Craftsman Series. A second edition was approved and issued in 1994. Since1987, when ACI launched the Concrete Flatwork Finisher/Technician certification program, ACI has been using this document as the primary reference for that program. The certification program was designed to provide a basis for certifying concrete finishers and to improve the quality of concrete construction. As a result of program growth, more than 7500 people have become certified Concrete Flatwork Finishers/Technicians.Some major retailers now specify that contractors constructing concretefloors for their stores have certified ACI Flatwork Finishers on site performing the work.ACI Committee 301, Specifications for Concrete, took a major step toward formally recognizing the value of using ACI-certified finishers and technicians when, in 2002, they approved language in ACI 301, "Specifications for Concrete,"that states in part, ".Unless otherwise permitted, a minimum of one finisher or finishing supervisor shall be a certified ACI Flatwork Finisher/Technician or a certified Flatwork Technician as defined in ACI CP-10 or equivalent." This was the first time ACI Committee 301 had included language requiring the use of qualified flatwork finishers for concrete placement.ARCOM, a partner of the American Institute of Architects, also includes optional language in their MASTERSPEC® Specification System requiring cast-in-place concrete installers to be certified ACI Flatwork Finishers and Technicians, and installer supervisors to also be certified ACI Flat-work Technicians.
