Thank you, Scott. That information is exactly what I needed. The IBC may not reference ACI 350, but ASCE 7 does reference ACI 350.3, and for water and wastewater, the industry standard is to use ACI 350.

For ASCE 7, the latest is ASCE 7-05. The next edition will be ASCE 7-10.
Both ACI 318 and ACI 530 (aka the MSJC) have 2008 editions that will be referenced by the 2009 IBC.
For the NDS, it will be the 2005 NDS. Work has just started on the next version, which I believe (if I recall correctly) will 2011.
For AISC, it would be the 2005 AISC "joint" specification if memory serves.
To my knowledge, the IBC does not reference any of the ACI 350 documents...but I could be wrong.
HTH,
Scott
All,I'm a little light on work right now, so I'm trying to update a spreadsheet my company uses to give the structural design criteria for a project. I want to incorporate the 2009 IBC as one of the code choices. This has relavence to other design codes that are referenced by the 2009 IBC. I don't currently have a copy of the 2009 IBC and I'm having trouble figuring out which design codes are referenced. For example, is ASCE coming out with a ASCE 7-08, or will ASCE 7-05 still be the reference for design loads? I know that ACI has published 318-08, but what about ACI 350 and 350.3? Will the reference be ACI 350-09 and 350.3-09, or are the current 350-06 and 350.3-06 still valid? For masonry, will there be a ACI 530-08 or is 530-05 to remain the referenced document?--Kipp MartinCarollo EngineersPortland, Oregon
