ACI 332.1 R-06, ACI 332-14, aversus ACI 318-11
ACI 332.1 R-06, ACI 332-14, aversus ACI 318-11
(OP)
I work with mostly small scale construction - some commercial, and a lot of residential. We primarily refer to the ACI 318-11 for concrete code. Recently I came across the ACI 332-14 & the ACI 332.1 R-06 and I wondered if the information they contained might be more applicable to the residential work I do, and if/how the content varied from what is contained in the ACI 318. We are a very small office, so any new code book or standard needs to be "worth it". I'm just curious if there are those of you who refer to either of these instead of / in addition to the 318 document and if you find it a useful reference. Thanks for your input.

I do like that it legitimizes some of the questionable details that I get talked into in residential work. 3.5" slabs on grade and unreinforced basement walls etc.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
