ACI 318-05 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary

ACI Committee 318, 2005, 430 pp.

Order Code: 31805.NEWPUBS
Price: $157.50 (ACI members $95.00)

ACI 318 is a must-have standard for all concrete design, construction, inspection, repair, and research professionals. ACI 318-05 contains the latest code requirements for concrete building design and construction. The companion commentary is a side-by-side column format to match the corresponding code requirements. The commentary provides some of the considerations of the committee in developing code provisions. This edition of the ACI Building Code is deemed to satisfy the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 19338, Performance Assessment Requirements for Design Standards on Structural Concrete.

The 2005 Edition has improved readability by unifying notations and terminology throughout the code. In addition, there are several specific technical changes and various existing provisions were clarified.

Among the subjects covered are: drawings and specifications; inspection; materials; durability requirements; concrete quality, mixing, and placing; formwork; construction joints; reinforcement details; analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads; shear and torsion; development and splices of reinforcement; slab systems; walls; footings; precast concrete; composite flexural members; prestressed concrete; strength evaluation of existing structures; provisions for seismic design; structural plain concrete; strut-and-tie modeling in Appendix A; and anchoring to concrete in Appendix D.

This ninth edition of PCA Notes has been updated to reflect code changes introduced in the latest version of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-05) and Commentary (318R-05). The 34 chapters of PCA Notes incorporate the new notation and terminology. An alternative torsion design method is presented. Enhanced provisions for the design of anchors are described, and their application illustrated through several examples. Each chapter of PCA Notes starts with a description of the latest code changes. Emphasis is placed on "how to use" the code. Numerous design examples illustrate application of the code provisions. The primary purpose of the PCA Notes is to assist the engineer and architect in the proper application of the ACI 318-05 design standard. This publication is also a valuable aid for educators, undergraduate and graduate students, contractors, materials and product manufacturers, building code authorities, and inspectors.
