Book Review: ACI 318-08 Code Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Unfortunately this book is like most other Code books. Every three years they're re-published with only a few minor changes. All the renewal tests have new questions based on the few changes in the new books. Therefore; you have to spend another $100 to $200 per book, just to find the few changes which are in the test questions.
With 8 or 9 different certifications, it really adds up when you have to buy 2 or 3 new books for each different certification renewal! .
Why can't they just publish the changes so we can upgrade our existing code books. (Addendums or replacement pages, like they do for the mistakes in the books, that are found after they are published.)
I believe it's all about money, not to provide education, but rather to get more money by forcing you to buy new books at $100 or more. Just another ripoff.
Summary of ACI 318-08: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary
Abstract: The Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (Code) covers the materials, design, and construction of structural concrete used in buildings and where applicable in nonbuilding structures. The Code also covers the strength evaluation of existing concrete structures. Among the subjects covered are: drawings and specifications; inspection; materials; durability requirements; concrete quality, mixing, and placing; formwork; embedded pipes; construction joints; reinforcement details; analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads; shear and torsion; development and splices of reinforcement; slab systems; walls; footings; precast concrete; composite flexural members; prestressed concrete; shells and folded plate members; strength evaluation of existing structures; provisions for seismic design; structural plain concrete; strut-and-tie modeling in Appendix A; alternative design provisions in Appendix B; alternative load and strength reduction factors in Appendix C; and anchoring to concrete in Appendix D. The quality and testing of materials used in construction are covered by reference to the appropriate ASTM standard specifications. Welding of reinforcement is covered by reference to the appropriate AWS standard. Uses of the Code include adoption by reference in general building codes, and earlier editions have been widely used in this manner. The Code is written in a format that allows such reference without change to its language. Therefore, background details or suggestions for carrying out the requirements or intent of the Code portion cannot be included. The Commentary is provided for this purpose. Some of the considerations of the committee in developing the Code portion are discussed within the Commentary, with emphasis given to the explanation of new or revised provisions.Book Subjects
