WhetherACI318 is enforced as part of buildhrg regulations or is otherwise utilized as a voluntary consensus standard, design professionals use thk standard almost exclusively as the basis for the proper design and construction of buildings of reinforced cnncrete. The ACI 318 standard appfies to all types of buildkrg uses; structures of all heights ranging from the very tall highrises down to single-story buildings; facilities with large areas as well as those of nominal size; buildings having complex shapes and those primarily designed as uncomplicated boxes; and buildings requiring structurally intricate or innovative framing systems in contrast to those of more conventional or tradltionaf systems of construction. The general provisions developed to encompass all these extremes of building design and construction tend to make the application of ACI 318 complex and time consuming. However, this need not necessarily be the case, particularly i
