Felder, Editor (Conerete Reinforcing Steel Institute) FOREWORD ‘The recommendations in this Manual concerning the selection and use of reinforcing materials should not be substituted for the judgment of an experienced Architect/Engineer as to the best way of achieving spe- cific design requirements. ‘This Manual, first published in 1939, was prepared and periodically revised by the Engineering Practice Committee of the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute Recommendations based upon their nationwide compos- ite experience are presented here as a guide to reinforc- ing materials available and industry practices of estimat- ing, detailing, fabricating, placing and contracting for reinforcing materials. To —_ facilitate the Architecv/Engineer's function, and to ensure an accurate interpretation of the requirements, it is suggested «hat the recommended industry practices herein be included by reference in the project drawings or project specifica- tions. In the absence of specifications to the contrary, itis intended that these recommended industry practices govern the interpretation of contracts entered into between the Buyer and Seller of reinforcing steel and related materials, The Institue believes that use of these recommendations from design through construction will produce maxiraum economy in the final reinforced con- crete structure to the benefit of all concerned. ‘This Manual should serve a twofold purpose: 1) Todelineate as precisely as possible the industry practices for reinforcing steel. 2) To provide a convenient reference source for the Architect/Engineer, the Inspector, the Detailer and Fabricator. In this Manual, the terms “ACI Building Code,” “ACI 818," “ACI Code,” etc., refer to “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI $18.99)" as issued by the American Concrete Institute PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ‘This book, or parts thereof, may not be reproduced in any form without permission of the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (©2001~-Conerate Reinlorcing Steal nto
