Synopsis
ACI 315R-94 is a selection of 58 foldout drawings, accompanied by commentary, for
both nonhighway and highway reinforced concrete structures. It was prepared in collab-
oration with the Federal Highway Administration and with the cooperation of the Engi-
neering Practice Committee of the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute.

The engineering drawings for nonhighway structures were selected from plans of actual
structures. They have been modified where necessary to conform more closely with
"Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI 318-89)" and to illustrate
recommended methods of presenting the design information needed to make the plac-
ing drawings. The designs for highway structures are presented to illustrate the use of
accepted methods for detailing reinforced concrete highway structures (though the
drawings may not represent the best or most economical bridges for conditions shown).

Keywords: beams (supports); columns (supports); compressive strength; concrete

slabs, fire ratings; fire endurance; fire resistance; fire tests; masonry walls; modulus of
elasticity; prestressed concrete; prestressing steels; reinforced concrete; reinforcing
steel; structural design; temperature distribution; thermal properties; walls.

ACI 315R-94 constitutes the second part of SP-66, the ACI Detailing Manual—1994. (The first part is the standard,
"Details and Detailing of Concrete Reinforcement (ACI 315-92)," which can be found in Part 3 of the MCP printed ver-
sion and also on this CD. SP-66 is available in spiral bound, 81/4 × 11 in. soft cover format.
