The American Concrete Institute announces the opening of public discussion for its completely reorganized ACI 318-14, “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary.” In accordance with ACI’s standardization procedure, the draft is now available for public review for a 45-day period.
“Members of ACI Committee 318 have been actively working on this completely reorganized Code for over ten years, and have collectively dedicated over 96,000 work hours to improve its usability and increase confidence among all Code users,” said Randall W. Poston, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., Chair, ACI Committee 318. “At this stage, the committee encourages Code users and those interested in ACI 318 to visit the web portal at www.concrete.org/ACI318, download and review the complete draft of ACI 318-14, and provide the Institute with insight and comments for further improvements by June 17, 2014.”
