Foreword
The Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI 3 18) is an authoritative document often adopted
and referenced as a design and construction standard in state and municipal buildhg codes around the country as
well as in the specifications of several federal agencies, its provisions thus becoming law. WhetherACI318 is
enforced as part of buildhrg regulations or is otherwise utilized as a voluntary consensus standard, design
professionals use thk standard almost exclusively as the basis for the proper design and construction of buildings
of reinforced cnncrete.
The ACI 318 standard appfies to all types of buildkrg uses; structures of all heights ranging from the very tall highrises down to single-story buildings; facilities with large areas as well as those of nominal size; buildings having
complex shapes and those primarily designed as uncomplicated boxes; and buildings requiring structurally
intricate or innovative framing systems in contrast to those of more conventional or tradltionaf systems of
construction. The general provisions developed to encompass all these extremes of building design and
construction tend to make the application of ACI 318 complex and time consuming. However, this need not
necessarily be the case, particularly in the design of reinforced concrete buildings of moderate size and height, as
is demonstrated in this publication.
This book has been written as a timesaving aid for use by experienced professionals who consistently seek ways
to simpliiy design procedures.
New to this second edition is a section in Chapter 1on preliminary design. Guidelines and design aids are provided
to help in choosing an economical floor system, and to obtain preliminary sizes for the beams, joists, columns,
shearwalls, and footings.
Throughout the chapters, new design aids have been included that should save significant amounts of time. One
such set of design aids is given in Chapter 3 for beams subjected to torsional loading: all required torsion
reinforcement cameasily be obtained via four charts. Also included in Chapter 3 are new design aids that can be
used to obtain the required shear reinforcement for beams.
Chapter 5, which covers the simplified design of columns, has been significantly revised to better reflect the
current ACI 318 provisions. Newtothis chap@xare two equations that can produce a simplified interaction
diagram for a section subjected to uniaxial load and beudlng moment.

In some of the example problems, the results obtained from the simplified design methods are compared to those
obtained from PCA computer programs. These comparisons readily show that the simplified methods yield
satisfactory results within the stated limitations,
Design professionals reading and workkrg with the material presented in thk book are encouraged to send in their
comments to PCA, together with any suggestions for fmtber design simplifications. PCA would also be gratefil
to any reader who would bring any errors or inconsistencies to our attention. Any suggestion for improvement
is always genuinely welcome.

The first edkion of thk mamraf was prepared under the direction of Gerald B. Neville, formerly Manager of
Structural Codes, PCA, arrdnow with the International Conference of Buildhrg Officials. He provided technical
assistance to the individmd authors when needed, and also served as coordinator and editor.
The various chapters of the first edition were indlvidrrally authored as follows:

Joseph Jim Messersmith, Jr., Coordinating Manager, Regional Code Services, PCA, provided significant input
towards revisions for thk second fxhtion. Aphrodite Lka Lehocky of the Engineered Structures and Codes staff
at PCA produced thk complex manuscript, includhrg its many tables and figures, on the desk-top publishhg
system. Diane Varrderlirsdeof PCAS Office Services staff is responsible for tbe word-processing of the entire
manuscript. The contributions of these three individuals are gratefully acknowledged.
David A. Farrella, the co-edkor of this volume, is largely responsible for the significant euharrcements from the
first to the second edition. Wkhout his dedicated efforts, the timely publication of tlrk manual in its present form
would have been impossible.
