This book is intended to guide practicing structural engineers
familiar with ear lier ACI building codes into more profitable
routine designs with the ACI 1995 Building Code (ACI 318-95). Each
new ACI Building Code expresses the latest knowledge of reinforced
concrete in legal language for safe design application. Beginning
in 1956 with the introduction of ultimate strength design, each new
code offered better uti lization of high-strength reinforcement and
the compressive strength of the con crete itself. Each new code
thus permitted more economy as to construction material, but
achieved it through more detailed and complicated design calcula
tions. In addition to competition requiring independent structural
engineers to follow the latest code for economy, it created a
professional obligation to fol low the latest code for accepted
levels of structural safety. The increasing complexity of codes has
encouraged the use of computers for design and has stimulated the
development of computer-based handbooks. Before computer software
can be successfully used in the structural design of buildings,
preliminary sizes of structural elements must be established from
handbook tables, estimates, or experienced first guesses for input
into the com puter."
