This chapter provides an overview of the ACI 318 code sections that are checked for compliance in the RAM Concrete Wall module. The intent is not to reproduce or elaborate on the code sections themselves, but rather to identify and explain the properties, quantities, and assumptions the RAM Concrete Wall module uses when evaluating each code section, with a particular emphasis on the RAM model data.

The initial sections describe the implementation based on ACI 318-11; subsequent sections describe changes that were implemented as required in subsequent versions of ACI 318.
