ACI通过发布新兴技术报告，鼓励开发和适当使用新兴技术。这些文件根据可用的测试数据、技术报告、有限的现场应用经验以及委员会成员的意见提供信息和建议。所提供的信息和建议及其依据可能不像针对更成熟技术的信息和建议那样得到广泛开发和测试。本报告确定了据信信息未充分开发的领域，并描述了相关的研究需求。 使用本文件的专业人士应理解本文件的局限性，并对这项新兴技术的适当应用做出判断。

ACI encourages the development and appropriate use of new and emerging technologies through the publication of Emerging Technology Reports. These documents present information and recommendations based on available test data, technical reports, limited experience with field applications, and the opinions of committee members. The presented information and recommendations, and their basis, may not be as extensively developed and tested as those for more mature technologies. This report identifies areas in which information is believed to be less fully developed and describes related research needs. The professional using this document should understand the limitations of this document and exercise judgment as to the appropriate application of this emerging technology.
