A 1950s concrete tilt-up warehouse is being converted into luxury apartments. The new use requires higher live loads (100 psf vs. 50 psf original).
An authentic review of , the 2011 edition of the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, involves assessing its impact on structural design and its role in the evolution of concrete standards. Core Review: ACI 318-11 Building Code Requirements aci 318.11
Enforcement of ACI 318.11 happens through building codes. The International Building Code (IBC) references ACI 318 by reference. For existing buildings, IBC Chapter 34 (Existing Structures) sends you directly to ACI 318.11. A 1950s concrete tilt-up warehouse is being converted
