Overview ACI ITG-5.1 is a standard developed by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) that provides guidelines and requirements for the design, construction, validation testing, and acceptance criteria of special unbonded post-tensioned precast structural walls. These walls are used in buildings to resist lateral forces such as those due to wind and earthquakes.
The 2007 Ohio Special Unbonded Post-Tensioned Precast Structural Walls Code is based on ACI ITG-5.1-07 with Ohio-specific amendments. This code sets the minimum standards for the design, construction, and validation testing of special unbonded post-tensioned precast structural walls within the state of Ohio. The Ohio-specific amendments include additional provisions tailored to the unique needs and conditions of construction in Ohio, ensuring the safety and reliability of these structural walls.
