The American Concrete Institute announces the availability of a new invaluable publication for concrete industry professionals—the Reinforced Concrete DesignHandbook [SP-17(14)]. The new two-volume handbook 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 reorganized 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, and serves 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 a 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 -- provide general succinct information to clarify for the user the overall design and detailing requirements of reinforced concrete building structures. 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 Slabs); Chapter 6 (Two-Way slabs); Chapter 7 (Beam); Chapter 9 (Walls); and Chapter 14 (Retaining Wall). The ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook is published in two volumes: Chapters 1 through 14 are published in Volume 1, and Chapter 15 is published in Volume 2. Design aids and a moment interaction diagram Excel spreadsheet are available for free download. Learn more and purchase at www.concrete.org or call 248-848-3700. ### For more information, contact: Julie Webb Marketing Communications Specialist 248-848-3148 Julie.Webb@concrete.org Always advancing – The American Concrete Institute is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development and distribution of consensus-based standards and technical resources, educational programs and certifications for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction and materials, who share a commitment to pursuing the best use of concrete. ACI’s inclusive, individual member-driven structure and valuable, cost-effective benefits result in an essential organization that invites partnerships and welcomes all concrete professionals who wish to be a part of a respected, connected social group that provides an opportunity for professional growth, networking, and enjoyment.
