The Reinforced Concrete Design Manual [SP-17(11)] is intended to provide guidance and assistance toprofessionals engaged in the design of cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures.

The first Reinforced Concrete Design Manual (formerly titled ACI Design Handbook) was developed inaccordance with the design provisions of 1963 ACI 318 Building Code by ACI Committee 340, DesignAids for Building Codes, whose mission was to develop handbook editions in accordance with the ACI318 Building Code. That committee published revised editions of the handbook in accordance with the1971, 1977, 1983, and 1995 ACI 318 Building Codes. Many individuals and members of ACI Committee340 contributed to the earlier editions of the handbook, which remains the basis for the current ReinforcedConcrete Design Manual. Their contributions, as well as the administrative and technical assistance fromACI staff, are acknowledged. This earlier handbook format was a collection of design aids and illustrativeexamples, generated in the pre-calculator era. Many of these earlier design aids intended to carry outrelatively simple design calculations were eliminated in the SP-17(09) edition. Explanatory text wasadded to each chapter, while maintaining relevant design aids and illustrative examples.

The 2012 edition of the Reinforced Concrete Design Manual [SP-17(11)] was developed in accordancewith the design provisions of ACI 318-11, and is consistent with the format of SP-17(09). Chapters 1through 6 were developed by individual authors, as indicated on the first page of those chapters, andupdated to the content of ACI 318-11 as needed. Those authors were members of the former ACICommittee 340. SP-17(09) was reviewed and approved by ACIs Technical Activities Committee (TAC).

Three new chapters were developed by ACI staff engineers under the auspices of TAC for SP-17(11):Chapter 7 (Deflection); Chapter 8 (Strut-and-Tie Model); and Chapter 9 (Anchoring to Concrete). Toprovide immediate oversight and guidance for this project, TAC appointed three content editors: RonaldJanowiak, Michael Kreger, and Antonio Nanni. Their reviews and suggestions improved this publicationand are appreciated. TAC also appreciates the comments provided by Ronald Cook, Catherine French,Gary Klein, and John Silva for Chapters 8 and 9.

SP-17(11) is published in two volumes: Chapters 1 through 8 are published in Volume 1 and Chapter 9 ispublished in Volume 2.
