Concrete Design Codes

The analysis and computation of design forces in the RAM Concrete Analysis Gravity Analysis mode are based on the requirements of the following concrete codes:

  • ACI 318 99/02/05/08/11/14/19 "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete" (ACI 318-99, ACI 318-02, ACI 318-05, ACI 318-08, ACI 318-11, ACI 318-14, and ACI 318-19) and Commentary, American Concrete Institute, Farmington Hills, MI
  • BS 8110-1:1997 "Structural use of concrete - Part 1: Code of practice for design and construction", Incorporating Amendments 1, 2, & 3.

    This code is hereafter referred to as BS8110.

  • CP 65-1:1996 "Code of practice for structural use of concrete - Part 1: Design and construction"

    This code is hereafter referred to as CP 65. When not explicitly mentioned in a section of this document a reference to BS8110 will apply to CP 65.

  • AS 3600-2001 and AS 3600-2009"Concrete Structures".

    This code is hereafter referred to as AS 3600-01 or AS 3600-09 (or simply AS 3600 for items which are not edition-specific).

  • EN1992-1-1:2004 "Design of Concrete Structures".

    This code is hereafter referred to as EC2.

  • GB 50010 is the concrete design code for China.
  • CAN/CSA A23.3-10 is the concrete design code for Canada.

    The code is hereafter referred to as CSA A23.
