Description
This module based on Chapters 8 and 9 excerpted from ACI 445.1R-12, “Report on Torsion in Structural Concrete,” address the detailing requirements of transverse and longitudinal reinforcement in torsional members. Additionally, the chapters provide information about detailing at supports and review torsion design procedures by ACI 318-11, EC2-04, and CSA-A23.3-04 codes. This document was developed by ACI Committee 445 and approved by the ACI Technical Activities Committee.
