Abstract:

Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI 318-83) is discussed in terms of three major changes: limitations on chlorides, especially in aggregates, that affect durability; simplification of calculations for the direct design method for slabs; and extension of earthquake provisions to regions not previously covered. Earthquake provisions appear in the totally-rewritten Appendix A. A summary of the changes in each chapter is included.
