Abstract:
The proposed Structural Concrete Building Code in Peru, Standard E060, is under review and is expected to be approved in 2026. This standard does not follow the format changes in ACI 318-14, and its seismic design differs from that in Chapter 18 of ACI 318-19 and ACI 318-25. These differences result in less stringent design requirements for Standard E060 compared to both versions of ACI 318. Another significant difference is that Standard E060 for seismic design only permits Grade 60 (ksi) reinforcing steel and allows the use of ASTM A615 steel.
