This edition of the SAA Code for Concrete in Buildings has been prepared by. Committee BD/2,
*Concrete Structures, as a revision of the 1958 edition.
It incorporates many amendments to the text of the former edition arising eithee fom experiencies the Adolitat nas fist bedition er because of chanigg
structures.
Account has also been taken of the revision of
the American
Concrete Institute's Building Code Requirements for Rein
forced Concrete.
A separate design code has been developed to cover the use of prestressed concrete in building and has been issued as AS
CA35.
Because of incomplete work in relation to fire resistance requirements generally, Appendix B dealing with these requirements has been temporarily withdrawn from this edition, but rule references to the appendix have been retained in anticipation of the early completion of the fire resistance require. ments, which will then be added to this edition by amendment*
The
former Appendix E, Notes on the Evaluation of Compressive Strength Tests of Concrete, has been deleted with the intention of covering this matter more fully in a separate document.
A further section, to cover composite con-
struction, is nearing completion and will be added by way of an amendment, when accepted by the committee†.

The resistance to pull-out of twisted square bars has received close
concrete to the bar and subsequently, as the load increases, to the mechanical resistance due to the shape of the bar.
The factor of 1:5 for twisted square
bars (R factor, Table 5) has been based on the average value of the pull-out resistances for free-end slips of 0-002, 0-005, 0-01, 0-02 and 0-04 in.
This
method of computing the factor takes into account the shape of the curve for load-resistance/slip, and the value determined more truly represents the behaviour of the bar than would taking the load-resistance corresponding to an arbitrary single free-end slip, say of 0•01 in.
It is also important to
note that the factor 1.5 only applies to bars having a maximum pitch of twist of 12D and an untwisted length on ends not exceeding 4D.

During the revision, the opportunity has been taken to number the rules according to the practice now in general use for other major SAA codes,
