Reorganized ACI 318-14 Posted for Public Review

As part of the ANSI-approved standardization procedure, the American Concrete Institute (ACI) has posted the reorganized ACI 318-14 for public review. The public review period will be open until Tuesday, June 17; comments received will be addressed by ACI Committee 318 before this version of the Code is finalized sometime this summer. It is anticipated that the International Code Council will adopt by reference ACI 318 in the next version of the International Building Code. That decision will be made this fall by ICC. The pertinent sections of the reorganized Code related to concrete materials and associated requirements are addressed in Chapters 19 and 26.

Due to the volume of comments received, all comments must be submitted via the Comment Form to be considered by the committee. The draft standard will become an official ACI standard after the discussion period closes and the committee responds to the discussion received.

The draft standard and comment form are available on the Upcoming Standards Web page. Discussion should be e-mailed to Discussion@concrete.org using the comment form for the corresponding draft standard.
