Abstract:
ACI 318 is arguably one of the most influential concrete codes in the world and a primary reason for ACI’s reputation as a leading source of technical information on the use of concrete. The basic framework of the Code was established in 1963 to introduce strength design and has remained basically unchanged ever since. To ensure that the Code continues to serve as a primary resource for the construction industry, ACI Committee 318 has elected to step back and examine the document’s organization. This article presents the case for reorganizing the Code and discusses why it may be prudent to do so at this time.
