Significant changes from the 2011 to the 2014 edition of ACI 318

摘要

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has published Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14) and Commentary (ACI 318R-14), which has undergone a complete reorganization from its 2011 edition. ACI 318-14 does contain a number of significant technical changes, some of the most important of which are found in chapter 18, Earthquake Resistant Structures. Organizational changes from ACI 318-11 to ACI 318-14 are discussed, as well as significant technical changes in each chapter.
