Page 237 - 15#8's should be noted in lieu of 15#7's. It is inconsequential to the problem, but should be noted that they are checking the boundary reinforcement at the top floor, which doesn't match figure 5-9 on page 226.

Page 294 - lots of errors on this page. For one, I have the latest printing of this manual volume, yet the errata didn't follow through somehow. The L/2+L/2 of the column depths are incorrect even though the net beam length from face to face of column is correct. It should be 24-3/2-2.5/2=21.25ft.

Page 294 - Aci 12.3.4.1 should read ACI 21.3.4.1 It's actually ACI 21.5.4.1 is the correct code in ACI 318-08.

Page 295 - It appears that the "L" from page 294 is being used in the lower calculation of the interior stirrup spacing. I get that they are using L=21.5 where they should be using L=21.25. FYI...

Page 301 - Why is there skin reinforcement shown when they show by calculation that it isn't required?

Feel free to comment if you like. Thanks.
