Portland Cement Association has released its 10th edition of PCA Notes on ACI 318-08 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete with Design Applications, providing detailed coverage of ACI 318-08 provisions with particular emphasis on how to use the code. The manual comprises chapters summarizing code changes introduced in the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, ACI 318-08, and Commentary, ACI 318R-08. Discussions address reorganized and expanded requirements for earthquake-resistant structures, as well as their durability. Also described are enhanced provisions for anchor design. Numerous design examples illustrate application of code provisions.

While aimed primarily at engineers and architects, PCA Notes serves as a key reference for educators, undergraduate and graduate students, contractors, materials and product manufacturers, building code authorities, and inspectors.
