(ACI Code 318-14) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete

(ACI Code 318-14) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete

Book Overview
- Detailed Description: The (ACI Code 318-14) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete covers: design and construction for strength, serviceability, and durability; load combinations, load factors, and strength reduction factors; structural analysis methods; deflection limits; mechanical and adhesive anchoring to concrete; development and splicing of reinforcement; construction document information; field inspection and testing; and methods to evaluate the strength of existing structures. “Building Code Requirements for Concrete Thin Shells” (ACI 318.2) is adopted by reference in this Code. The Code user will find that ACI 318-14 has been substantially reorganized and reformatted from previous editions. The principal objectives of this reorganization are to present all design and detailing requirements for structural systems or for individual members in chapters devoted to those individual subjects, and to arrange the chapters in a manner that generally follows the process and chronology of design and construction. Information and procedures that are common to the design of members are located in utility chapters.
- Key aspects:
- Complete Reorganization of the Code
- Compatibility with the International Building Code (IBC)
- Focus on Structural Member Types

- Enhanced Reinforcement Detailing and Development
- Fire Resistance
- Anchoring to Concrete
- Construction Requirements and Inspection Design Flexibility
- Highlights:
- Introduction of a New Chapter Layout
- Expanded Use of Strength Design (Load and
- Resistance Factor Design – LRFD)
- Improved Clarity and Accessibility
- Increased Emphasis on Seismic Design
- Durability and Exposure Requirements
- Reinforcement Detailing Improvements
- Structural Systems Coverage
- Materials and Construction
- Compatibility with Other Codes
Key Features & Benefits
- The ACI Code 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete is structured in a “code and commentary” format, where each provision of the code is followed by a commentary that explains the rationale, background, and references. The code underwent a complete reorganization in 2014 to improve usability, adopting a member-based organization rather than topic-based.
The ACI Code 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete practical application lies in its role as the governing standard for the design and construction of structural concrete in buildings and related structures. It is used by engineers, architects, contractors, building officials, and code enforcers to ensure safety, reliability, and performance of concrete structures under expected service conditions.
The ACI 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete is a core reference used in many civil and structural engineering exams.
The ACI 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete has several tools to help you study such as: Structural Member-Based Organization, Chapter Structure & Headings, Numbering System, Figures, Diagrams & Tables, Color-Coded or Tabbed Editions (Optional Tools), Commentary Version (ACI 318-14R), Reference Index & Appendices, and Design Examples & Handbooks.
