Adoption Info of Georgia Residential Structural Concrete Code 2014
- ACI 332-14 (Residential Code Requirements for Structural Concrete) with Georgia-specific amendments
Effective Dates
- January 1, 2014 – Present
Adopts with Amendments
- ACI 332-14 (Residential Code Requirements for Structural Concrete)
Scope
- The Georgia Residential Structural Concrete Code applies to the design, construction, and maintenance of concrete structures in residential buildings, including foundations, walls, slabs, and footings. This code ensures structural integrity, durability, and safety for concrete components specifically in one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses, covering reinforcement, concrete mix requirements, and load-bearing capacity.
Exception #1: Detached accessory structures, such as small sheds or garages, may have reduced requirements based on their limited load-bearing demands.
Exception #2: Non-load-bearing decorative concrete elements in residential settings may follow simplified standards if not part of the structural framework.
