ACI 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary

ACI 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary

The ACI 318-14 building code sets out requirements for structural concrete, and this volume prints the code together with its commentary. The American Concrete Institute published it in 2014.

It is a technical reference spanning materials science, construction and engineering. Students in structural or civil engineering and adult learners in the building trades use it to understand the rules that govern concrete design and construction.

Code and commentary together

Having the commentary bound with the code is useful for study. The code gives the requirement, and the commentary sits alongside it to explain the thinking, which helps readers who are still learning how to interpret code language. Keep it beside your design notes when checking concrete requirements.

The 2014 version

ACI 318 is revised over time, and this is the 2014 version. Some courses, exams and older projects still reference it, while newer work may call for a later version. Check which code year your class or project requires before ordering.

Size and language

The book has 514 pages and is written in English.

Who uses the code

Engineering students meet ACI 318 in reinforced concrete design courses, and working engineers rely on it when they design concrete structures. Adult learners in construction programs use it to understand what the code asks of a project. Its subject areas are materials science, construction and engineering.
