This tenth edition of PCA Notes on ACI 318-08 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete with Design Applications reflects changes introduced in the latest version of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, ACI 318-08, and Commentary, ACI 318R-08.

This classic PCA publication includes a number of revisions, and design examples reflect the new notation and terminology, load and strength reduction factors, and the unified design provisions for reinforced and prestressed concrete members under flexure and axial load. The book also includes an example of an alternative torsion design method, complete with a summary and illustrations. In addition, enhanced provisions for the design of anchors are described, and their application is illustrated through several examples. The book includes descriptions of the latest code changes and provides instruction on how best to apply the Code. Instruction is supplemented by illustration.

The PCA Notes are a great resource for engineers and architects, providing invaluable instruction on how best to apply the ACI 318-08 design standard. This document is also a valuable aid for educators, undergraduate and graduate students, contractors, materials and product manufacturers, building code authorities, and inspectors. 1,026 pp.
