Reinforced Concrete Design Codes

 

Our program supports the following design codes:

 

ACI 318 - 2011, 2014 and 2019 (American Concrete Institute)

 

BSI 8110 - 1985, 1997 (British Standards Institute)

 

CSA A23.3 - 1994, 2004, 2014 & 2019 (Canadian Standards Association)

 

IBC 2015, 2018 (International Building Code)

 

EN 1992-1-1:2004 (Euro code)

 

ISI 456:2000 (Indian Code)

 

CP 65: 1999 (Singapore Code)

 

AS 3600: 2001, 2009 & 2018 (Australian Code)

 

Note: When any other code besides ACI or IBC are selected when creating new workspaces, only SI input units are available since all the concrete design codes besides ACI and IBC are SI unit based. Existing workspaces created before 2020R1 release will display English units for codes besides ACI and IBC. However English input units must not be used for these codes.

 

Changes related to addition of ACI 318 2019:

 

New Projects and New Workspaces:

 

When a new project is created, 3 ACI 318 codes will be displayed as options to choose from: ACI 318 2019, 2014 & 2011. 2008 version will no longer be displayed.

 

New Workspaces in Existing Projects:

 

When a new workspace is created in an existing project that supported ACI 318 versions 2014, 2011 and 2008, the new workspace will display not only these 3 versions but a 4th version - ACI 318 2019.

 

Importing an existing workspace into a new project:

Since the new project will not have ACI 318 2008, any existing projects saved with ACI 318 2008 will automatically default to ACI 318 2019 when imported into a new project.
