ACI 352.1R-11 PDF Download

ACI 352.1R-11 is a standard guide for designing slab-column connections in monolithic concrete structures. The guide provides recommendations on determining proportions and details of reinforced and post-tensioned concrete slab-column connections. It includes recommendations on the appropriate use of these connections in structures that resist both gravity and lateral forces. The guide also provides procedures for determining the load-carrying capacity of connections and reinforcement details that ensure adequate strength, ductility, and structural integrity.

The recommendations in the guide are based on a review of the literature for both ultimate and serviceability limit states. It also includes a commentary that provides clarification and references for the recommendations. The design recommendations are presented in standard type, while the commentary is presented in italics.
