Revised ACI 318 Code streamlines concrete mix, performance references

摘要

The American Concrete Institute's just-released ACI 318-14, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete consolidates concrete mix ture-specific references from 318-11 Chapters 3 (Materials), 4 (Dura bility) and 5 (Strength and Construction Issues) into new Chapters 19 (Concrete: Design and Durability Requirements) and 26 (Construction Documents and Inspection). The reorganization of these sections per mitted an evaluation and elimination of some Code provisions related to concrete mixtures and construction when better addressed in other referenced standards.
