ACI 314R-16 Guide to Simplified Design for Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Reported by ACI Committee 314. — American Concrete Institute, 2016. — 128 p. — ISBN 978-1-942727-93-4.This guide presents simplified methods and design techniques that facilitate and speed the engineering of low-rise buildings within certain limitations. Material is presented in an order that follows typical design process with procedures introduced as the designer will need them in the course of a building design. Much of the information presented in this guide is derived from ACI 318, ASCE 7, and the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) (International Code Council 2015). The quality and testing of materials used in construction are covered by references to the appropriate ASTM standard specifications
