Abstract:
An updated version of the ACI 562 Code has been reviewed by the ACI Technical Activities Committee (TAC) and is now in the public review phase. Members of the Education subcommittee of Committee 562 (ACI 562-E) explain the rationale behind some of the upcoming changes to the Code through a series of articles. The first article discusses the importance of standardizing terminology included in the updated document.
