The American Concrete Institute’s Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook [SP-17(14)] provides guidance and assistance to professionals engaged in the design of reinforced concrete structures. This Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook was developed in accordance with ACI’s newly reorganized 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, and will serve as an invaluable companion to ACI 318-14. The ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook provides many design examples of various reinforced concrete members based on the fictitious seven-story building. Additional information and examples are provided to illustrate various ACI 318-14 requirements not related to the design of the members in the seven story building. The first three chapters in this design handbook -- structural systems, structural analysis, and durability -- are not example based, but provide general succinct information to clarify for the user the overall design and detailing requirements of reinforced concrete building structures. They provide general information and overall view of a building design. Chapter four of this design handbook provides a short description of the fictitious seven story building and how it is used to demonstrate the use of the code requirements. Nine new chapters are added: Chapter 1 (Structural Systems); Chapter 2 (Structural Analysis); Chapter 3 (Durability); Chapter 4 (Building example); Chapter 5 (One-way Chapter); Chapter 6 (Two-way slabs); Chapter 7 (beam); Chapter 9 (Walls); and Chapter 14 (Retaining Wall). The ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook will be published in two volumes: Chapters 1 through 14 are published in Volume 1, and Chapter 15 is published in Volume 2. It is expected to be available in 2015. Editors: Trey Hamilton III, Antonio Nanni, and Andrew Taylor Keywords: anchoring to concrete; beams; column; cracking; deflection; diaphragm; durability; flexural strength; footings; frames; pile caps; post-tensioning; punching shear; retaining wall; shear strength; special moment frames; seismic; slabs; splicing; strength analysis; structural analysis; structural systems; strut-and-tie method; torsion; walls.
