Hey all - I just purchased ACI 318-05 but do not have it yet. I think I remember reading that the concrete load factors changed in this edition - have they? If so, can you tell me what they are now? I need to do some preliminary calcs and don't have the book yet. Thanks in advance!

phi for shear is now 0.75
phi for bending is still 0.9

RE: concrete load factors

FWIW: These changes had already been made in 318-02.
