The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has opened the period of public comment for the next version of ACI 318, Building Code for Structural Concrete. The public discussion period was opened on May 19 for a 45-day period, closing on July 2. ACI 318 is available for review on the PLUS format and comments will be recorded for consideration by ACI Committee 318. The sections of interest for concrete producers include Chapter 19, Concrete: Design and Durability Requirements, and Chapter 26, Construction Documents and Inspection. Also consider reviewing the new Appendix N – Sustainability and Resilience.
Changes from 318-19 are identified and commenters can record their comments (on existing and new provisions) alongside each Code and Commentary provision. ACI Committee 318 is required to review and respond to public comments. The committee approves all responses. This is the final step in this Code cycle before ACI 318-25 is published early in 2025, with the intent to be referenced in the International Building Code.
