ACI/PCI CODE-319 : 2025

Description: This Code adheres to the chapter and section numbering of ACI CODE-318-25 and either cites or repeats applicable provisions from ACI CODE-318. Provisions that are identical to ACI CODE-318 and are repeated in this Code are denoted with an equal sign (“=”). Provisions that are applicable to precast concrete but are not repeated in the Code are denoted as “See ACI CODE-318.” Design and detailing requirements for structural systems or for individual members are presented in chapters devoted to those individual subjects, and the chapters are arranged in a manner that generally follows the process and chronology of design and construction. Information and procedures that are common to the design of multiple member types are located in utility chapters. Within chapters, the terms “out of scope” and “not applicable” are used for numbered section headings from ACI CODE-318 that are not covered by this Code, while the term “intentionally left blank” is used as a place holder to maintain consistency with section numbering in situations where ACI CODE-318 includes a numbered provision that is not also in this Code.
