American Concrete Institute (ACI) Publishes Structural Concrete Document

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has published the printed version of ACI CODE-318-25: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary. This publication will be of interest to structural engineers, building code professionals, educators, and construction industry leaders.

ACI CODE-318 is the document that presents the requirements for the design and construction of structural concrete that are necessary to ensure public safety. It is addressed to the engineer responsible for the contract documents and the building official.

Why This Matters:

• Developed through an extensive consensus process, the document addresses all major structural systems, including cast-in-place, precast, shotcrete, plain, nonprestressed, prestressed, and composite construction.

• This latest edition, ACI CODE-318-25, introduces significant updates, including a new sustainability appendix that reflects modern construction practices, revised requirements for post-installed reinforcing bars, and enhanced provisions for shear friction.

• The printed release of ACI CODE-318-25 makes this essential standard even more accessible to jobsite professionals, university classrooms, and engineering firms worldwide.
