This section prescribes criteria for the design of buildings using cast-in-place or precast construction with plain, reinforced, or prestressed concrete.  \n1.2 BASIS FOR DESIGN. The basis for design for buildings and building components constructed of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, or plain concrete will be ACI 318, \"Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary\". Additional provisions for buildings constructed in severe environments, and buildings designed to resist the effects of accidental explosions (blast-resistant construction) are discussed elsewhere. In executing designs in accordance with ACI 318, cognizance will be given to ACI 318R; Portland Cement Association (PCA) Notes on ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete with Design Applications, and to ACI standards and committee reports referenced in this publication.  \n1.3 EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN. Concrete structures are to be designed to resist the effects of earthquake ground motions. The additional requirements of TI 809- 04, \"Seismic Design for Buildings\" and FEMA 302, \"NEHRP Recommended Provisions for the Seismic Design of New Buildings and Other Structures\" will apply.  \n1.4 DESIGN STRENGTHS. Concrete strengths for various applications and various exposures are listed in Table 1. Use of high strength concrete will be in accordance with ACI Committee 211 Report, \"Guide for Selecting Proportions for High-Strength Concrete with Portland Cement and Fly Ash,\" and ACI Committee 363 Report, \"Stateof-the-Art Report on High Strength Concrete.\"  \n© J. Paul Guyer 2013 3  \nTable 1  \nMinimum Concrete Strength Requirements  \n1.5 DESIGN CHOICES. The selection of the structural concrete framing system, strength of concrete and reinforcement, conventional versus lightweight concrete, conventional versus prestressed design, and cast-in-place versus precast construction will be based on economic and functional considerations. Designers should take into account the specific type and size of structure, architectural features or special performance requirements, seismic exposure, construction cost factors for the building site, and the availability of materials and labor.
