The printed version of ACI CODE-318-25: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary is now available. 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.
As the American Concrete Institute’s flagship standard, ACI CODE-318-25 sets the foundation for structural concrete design and construction in buildings and nonbuilding structures. 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.
The latest edition 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. Additional updates include improvements to deep foundation requirements across all seismic design categories and clarified guidelines for cantilever and basement wall shear design.
