The code portion of this document covers the design and
construction of structural concrete used in buildings and where applicable in
nonbuilding structures.
Among the subjects covered are: drawings and specifications;
inspection; materials; durability requirements; concrete quality, mixing and
placing; formwork; embedded pipes; construction joints; reinforcement details;
analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads;
shear and torsion; development and splices of reinforcement; slab systems;
walls; footings; precast concrete; composite flexural members; prestressed
concrete; shells and folded plate members; strength evaluation of existing
structures; special provisions for seismic design; structural plain concrete;
strut-and-tie modeling in Appendix A; alternative design provisions in Appendix
B; alternative load and strength-reduction factors in Appendix C; and anchoring
to concrete in Appendix D.
The quality and testing of materials used in construction are
covered by reference to the appropriate ASTM standard specifications. Welding of
reinforcement is covered by reference to the appropriate ANSI/AWS standard.
Uses of the code include adoption by reference in general
building codes, and earlier editions have been widely used in this manner. The
code is written in a format that allows such reference without change to its
language. Therefore, background details or suggestions for carrying out the
requirements or intent of the code portion cannot be included. The commentary is
provided for this purpose.
Some of the considerations of the committee in
developing the code portion are discussed within the commentary, with emphasis
given to the explanation of new or revised provisions. Much of the research data
referenced in preparing the code is cited for the user desiring to study
individual questions in greater detail. Other documents that provide suggestions
for carrying out the requirements of the code are also cited.
