3 MeiningerCharles G. SalmonBUILDING CODE Requirements FOR Structural CONCRETE (ACI 318-05) AND COMMENTARY (ACI 318R-05)REPORTED BY ACI COMMITTEE 318 ACI Committee 318 Structural Building Code DeceasedACI 318-05 is deemed to satisfy ISO 19338, Performance and Assessment Requirements for Design Standards on StructuralConcrete, Reference Number ISO (E). Also Technical Corrigendum 1: STANDARD/COMMITTEE REPORTINTRODUCTION318/318R-1 ACI 318 Building Code and CommentaryPREFACEThe code portion of this document covers the design and construction of Structural concrete used in buildings andwhere applicable in nonbuilding the subjects covered are: drawings and specifications; inspection; materials; durability Requirements ; concretequality, mixing, and placing; formwork; embedded pipes; construction joints; reinforcement details; analysis anddesign; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads; shear and torsion.

4 Development and splices of reinforce-ment; slab systems; walls; footings; precast concrete; composite flexural members ; prestressed concrete; shells andfolded plate members ; strength evaluation of existing structures; special provisions for seismic design; Structural plainconcrete; strut-and-tie modeling in Appendix A; alternative design provisions in Appendix B; alternative load andstrength-reduction factors in Appendix C; and anchoring to concrete in Appendix quality and testing of materials used in construction are covered by reference to the appropriate ASTM standardspecifications.

5 Welding of reinforcement is covered by reference to the appropriate ANSI/AWS of the code include adoption by reference in general Building codes, and earlier editions have been widely used inthis manner. The code is written in a format that allows such reference without change to its language. Therefore, back-ground details or suggestions for carrying out the Requirements or intent of the code portion cannot be included. Thecommentary is provided for this purpose. Some of the considerations of the committee in developing the code portion arediscussed within the commentary, with emphasis given to the explanation of new or revised provisions.

6 Much of theresearch data referenced in preparing the code is cited for the user desiring to study individual questions in greaterdetail. Other documents that provide suggestions for carrying out the Requirements of the code are also : admixtures; aggregates; anchorage ( Structural ); beam-column frame; beams (supports); Building codes; cements; cold weather construction; col-umns (supports); combined stress; composite construction (concrete and steel); composite construction (concrete to concrete); compressive strength; concreteconstruction; concretes; concrete slabs; construction joints; continuity ( Structural ); contraction joints; cover; curing; deep beams; deflections; drawings; earth-quake resistant structures; embedded service ducts.

7 Flexural strength; floors; folded plates; footings; formwork (construction); frames; hot weather construction;inspection; isolation joints; joints (junctions); joists; lightweight concretes; loads (forces); load tests ( Structural ); materials; mixing; mix proportioning; modulusof elasticity; moments; pipe columns; pipes (tubing); placing; plain concrete; precast concrete; prestressed concrete; prestressing steels; quality control; rein-forced concrete; reinforcing steels; roofs; serviceability; shear strength; shearwalls; shells ( Structural forms); spans; specifications; splicing; strength; strengthanalysis; stresses; Structural analysis; Structural concrete; Structural design; Structural integrity; T-beams; torsion; walls; water; welded wire 318-05 was adopted as a standard of the American Concrete InstituteOctober 27, 2004 to supersede ACI 318-02 in accordance with the Insti-tute s standardization complete metric companion to ACI 318/318R has been developed,318M/318RM; therefore no metric equivalents are included in this Committee Reports, Guides, Standard Practices, and Commentariesare intended for guidance in planning, designing, executing, and inspectingconstruction.
