By now, I am sure that every ACI member is aware the ACI 318-14 will be the first major restructuring of the "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete" in more than 40 years. ACI 318-14 has been completely reorganized for greater ease of use-with more tables and charts, a consistent structure for each member chapter, a dedicated chapter on construction requirements, new chapters on structural systems and diaphragms, and a format that will more easily accommodate new topics well into the future. The document has been sent to the printer, and electronic files are being finalized for access on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The English version should be available shortly after the ACI Convention in Washington, DC, and versions in Spanish, Chinese, and other languages are expected soon.
