Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-19): Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318R-19)
Also Known As: ACI 318M-19
The "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete" (ACI 318-19) is a standard that provides minimum requirements for the materials, design, and detailing of structural concrete buildings and nonbuilding structures. It covers various construction methods, including cast-in-place, precast, shotcrete, plain, nonprestressed, prestressed, and composite construction. The standard addresses topics such as design and construction for strength, serviceability, and durability, load combinations and factors, structural analysis methods, and deflection limits.
The Code was reorganized and reformatted in 2014 to improve clarity and ease of use. Design and detailing requirements are now presented in chapters dedicated to specific subjects, following the process and chronology of design and construction. The Code includes color illustrations and navigation aids to facilitate user understanding. The Commentary section provides additional information and explanations for the Code provisions.
The Code can be adopted by reference in a general building code and has been widely used in this manner. It does not include background details or suggestions for implementing its provisions, which can be found in the Commentary. The Commentary also discusses committee considerations in developing the Code and provides citations for research data and other documents that offer further guidance on meeting the Code's requirements.
