This code sets the minimum standards for the design, construction, and maintenance of structural concrete within the state of Ohio. The Ohio-specific amendments include additional provisions tailored to the unique structural needs and conditions of concrete construction in Ohio, ensuring safety, reliability, and performance of concrete structures.
