Abstract:
The current code provisions of ACI 318-77 are reviewed relative to structural design with high-strength concrete. Those provisions, affected by the properties of high-strength concrete, are identified and examined in light of currently available information. Where appropriate, possible modifications to the design provisions are suggested. Provisions that need revision when additional research data are obtained are also identified.
