“结构混凝土建筑规范要求”（“规范”）规定了结构混凝土建筑和非建筑结构（如适用）的材料、设计和细节的最低要求。本规范由ANSI批准的共识程序制定，涉及结构系统、构件和连接件，包括现浇、预制、喷射混凝土、素混凝土、无预应力、预应力和复合结构。涉及的主题包括:强度、适用性和耐久性的设计和施工；荷载组合、荷载系数和强度折减系数； 结构分析方法；挠度极限；机械和粘合剂锚固在混凝土上；钢筋的开发和拼接；施工文件信息；现场检查和测试；以及评估现有结构强度的方法。该准则于2014年进行了实质性重组和重新格式化，该准则继续并扩展了同样的组织理念。重组的主要目标是在专门讨论这些单独主题的章节中提出结构系统或单个构件的所有设计和详细要求，并以通常遵循设计和施工流程和年表的方式安排章节。 多个构件设计中常见的信息和程序位于实用程序章节中。本代码中实现的其他增强功能提供了更高的清晰度和易用性，包括首次使用彩色插图，以及使用颜色帮助用户浏览代码并快速找到所需信息。特别感谢Bentley Systems，Incorporated使用其ProConcrete软件制作了评论中的许多数字。该规范的使用包括在通用建筑规范中通过引用采用，早期版本已以这种方式广泛使用。 代码的编写格式允许在不更改其语言的情况下进行此类引用。因此，实施本规范规定的要求或意图的背景细节或建议不能包含在本规范中。评注就是为了这个目的而提供的。评注中讨论了委员会在制定守则时的一些考虑，重点是解释新的或修订的条款。在编写代码时引用的许多研究数据都是为了希望更详细地研究单个问题的用户而引用的。 此外，还引用了其他文件，为执行该规范的要求提供建议。有关每章的范围，请参见预览。

The "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete" ("Code") provides minimum requirements for the materials, design, and detailing of structural concrete buildings and, where applicable, nonbuilding structures. This Code was developed by an ANSI-approved consensus process and addresses structural systems, members, and connections, including cast-in-place, precast, shotcrete, plain, nonprestressed, prestressed, and composite construction. Among the subjects covered are: design and construction for strength, serviceability, and durability; load combinations, load factors, and strength reduction factors; structural analysis methods; deflection limits; mechanical and adhesive anchoring to concrete; development and splicing of reinforcement; construction document information; field inspection and testing; and methods to evaluate the strength of existing structures.The Code was substantially reorganized and reformatted in 2014, and this Code continues and expands that same organizational philosophy. The principal objectives of the reorganization were to present all design and detailing requirements for structural systems or for individual members in chapters devoted to those individual subjects, and to arrange the chapters in a manner that generally follows the process and chronology of design and construction. Information and procedures that are common to the design of multiple members are located in utility chapters. Additional enhancements implemented in this Code to provide greater clarity and ease of use include the first use of color illustrations and the use of color to help the user navigate the Code and quickly find the information they need. Special thanks to Bentley Systems, Incorporated, for use of their ProConcrete software to produce many of the figures found in the Commentary.Uses of the Code include adoption by reference in a general building code, and earlier editions have been widely used in this manner. The Code is written in a format that allows such reference without change to its language. Therefore, background details or suggestions for carrying out the requirements or intent of the Code provisions cannot be included within the Code itself. The Commentary is provided for this purpose.Some considerations of the committee in developing the Code are discussed in the Commentary, with emphasis given to the explanation of new or revised provisions. Much of the research data referenced in preparing the Code is cited for the user desiring to study individual questions in greater detail. Other documents that provide suggestions for carrying out the requirements of the Code are also cited.
