Abstract:
Design professionals designing ADA compliant sidewalks are sometimes forced into designing at the maximum allowable values. The maximum ADA values do not take into account the allowable tolerances of ACI 117 Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials. A Contractor and the Design Professional are in a lose-lose situation.
