Abstract:
One of te major changes in the 1995 Building Code (ACI 318-95) is a completely revised and expanded Chapter 16, Precast Concrete. For years it was an insignificant part of the Code; it was not very specific and was probably not used much for that reason. However, with greater inroads in building with precast and prestressed concrete, the industry has seen the need for better Code provisions as a mean of achieving even greater acceptance.
