Is there anyone who is familiar with the ACI 318 and ACI SP-17?
The SP-17 seems much more design oriented in terms of the mechanics of concrete whereas the 318 appears on the surface to be more of a Codes & Standards reference instead of a design manual. That being said, if you look at the tables of contents and descriptions of the various chapters there appears to be a lot of overlap. Are they more or less the same?
I mostly deal with non-architectural structures (bridges, culverts, footers, pads, pre-cast beams and columns, etc.) I was curious if anyone had an opinion.
Thanks!
