Performance-Based Specifications for Concrete to Advance Sustainable Development

摘要

A code, such as a building code, establishes minimum requirements for buildings to protect public safety. In the U.S., ACI 3181 serves as the building code for structural concrete. It is referenced for the most part by the model building codes, such as the International Building Code, that is then adopted wholly or with amendments, by a local jurisdiction at which point it becomes a law subject to legal review and process. Transportation agencies set the minimum requirements for transportation infrastructure.
