This code provides minimum requirements for design and construction of residential concrete elements when legally adopted as part of a general building code@ of which this code forms a part. In areas without a legally adopted building code@ this code defines minimum acceptable standards of design and construction practice.The user of this document should consult the applicable general building code for all applied loads to determine the applicable values for design requirements. In the absence of a governing code@ the user should consider the use of SEI/ASCE 7 to determine applicable loads.This code supplements the general building code and governs matters pertaining to design and construction of cast-in-place concrete construction for one- and two-family dwellings and multiple single-family dwellings (townhouses)@ and their accessory structures@ except wherever this code is in conflict with requirements in the legally adopted general building code.This code shall govern in all matters pertaining to design@ construction@ and material properties where this code is in conflict with requirements contained in other standards referenced in this code.This code is limited to: concrete footings@ including thickened slab footings@ wall footings@ and isolated footings; concrete basement or foundation walls constructed with removable forms; and concrete slabs-on-ground.The design and construction requirements for footings@ foundation walls@ and slabs-on-ground are included in this code@ together with requirements for concrete@ reinforcement@ forms@ and other related materials.The code does not govern design and construction of: insulating concrete form walls; precast wall elements; above-grade concrete walls; deep foundation systems (such as piles@ drilled piers@ or caissons); post-tensioned slabs-onground; and elevated concrete slabs. This code does not govern design or construction for seismic loads.Walls constructed with insulating concrete forms (ICFs) and precast wall elements were not included in this edition of the ACI 332 Code. Provisions for application of these systems can be found in the International Residential Code and other publications. The provisions for abovegrade concrete walls are currently available in other industry references. Guidance on the requirements for posttensioned slabs-on-ground can be found in the Post- Tensioning Institute??s ??Design and Construction of Post- Tensioned Slabs-on-Ground.??This code does not govern the design and application of systems for surface drainage@ waterproofing@ dampproofing@ and the ventilation of radon gases.Guidance on the type and application of systems for drainage@ waterproofing@ and damp-proofing@ as well as for radon gas ventilation systems@ are commonly found in the general building code.
