The American Concrete Institute, in collaboration with the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, announced the release of ACI/PCI CODE-319-25: Structural Precast Concrete—Code Requirements and Commentary in PDF format. This highly anticipated code provides essential guidance for the materials, design, and detailing of structural precast concrete buildings and nonbuilding structures.

Developed through a rigorous consensus process, ACI/PCI CODE-319-25 sets minimum requirements for plant-produced and site-produced structural precast concrete incorporating nonprestressed or pretensioned reinforcement. The Design Standard Committee of PCI played a vital role in shaping the code’s provisions and commentary, contributing their extensive expertise to advance the industry.

ACI 319 PLUS subscribers have had exclusive digital access to ACI/PCI CODE-319-25 through the ACI PLUS Platform, featuring robust digital notetaking, enhanced search capabilities, 3D graphics, and comprehensive cross-referencing tools. With this release, the PDF version is now available for wider accessibility, ahead of the physical print edition.

ACI recently expanded its ACI PLUS Platform to provide industry professionals with interactive digital access to multiple new concrete codes and resources. In addition to ACI 319 PLUS, the platform’s subscriptions include ACI 318 PLUS, ACI 320 PLUS, and the ACI 562 PLUS Repair Subscription, offering subscribers seamless access to up-to-date codes, design examples, and supplementary materials.

“The collaboration between ACI and PCI to produce ACI/PCI CODE 319-25 has been phenomenal,” said Andrea Schokker, ACI/PCI Committee 319 Chair. “We owe its success to the dedication and expertise of committee members and staff in both organizations, and we look forward to continuing this strong partnership in the next cycle.”

The PDF version of ACI/PCI CODE-319-25 is now available for purchase in the ACI store. For additional information about ACI 319 PLUS and other resources, please visit concrete.org.
