This document provides an overview of ACI 318-19, the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, and the accompanying ACI 318R-19 Commentary. It discusses the purpose and scope of the code, as well as how it was developed through an ANSI consensus process. Key points include that the code provides minimum requirements for structural concrete design and construction, and is intended to be adopted by legal jurisdictions as part of their building codes. The commentary provides supplementary information to help explain and interpret the code requirements.
