ACI 14-1
ACI 14-1
(OP)
I am looking at a document that shows a formula for calculating the compressive strength of a foundation. This document says "Compressive Strength per ACI 14-1" and the formula they use is: P=452(.25(3000)-24(.0066)] = 339 Kips
This is clearly not from ACI318 because chapter 14 is for walls, not foundations.
Does anyone know what ACI 14-1 is or where this formular came from?
Thanks.

RE: ACI 14-1
Anyway, the equation in ACI 318-63 is for axial load of spirally reinforced columns. P=Ag(0.25*f'c + f's*pg), where Ag = gross concrete area, f's = allowable stress in reinforcement, and pg = vertical reinforcement ratio.
