13、ION FOR CONCRETEThe following commentary and appendices, while not apart of ACI 104-71, will assist the user in applying thestandard and selecting notation which conforms to selec-tions made by ACI committees, based on the standard.Commentary on Application ofStandard NotationNeed for standard notat

14、ionA “symbol” is here defined as a short grouping of lettersand numerals to represent a written definition of someengineering concept. Thus, As is commonly used to definethe cross-sectional area of reinforcing steel. The body ofsymbols used by an engineering discipline is further definedas the “nota

15、tion” for that discipline. The sole function of anotation is to serve as a form of “shorthand” to aid in thecommunication of ideas among members of the discipline. Agood notation then is one which best serves its masters.Hallmarks of a good notation are lack of ambiguity indetermining the meaning of

16、 any given symbol, consistency ofconstruction of symbols, and a common use of the notationby all members of the discipline.Prior to the adoption of ACI Standard 104 in 1971, thenotation for concrete in use in United States practice was theproduct of random evolution and not systematic planning. Asa

17、result, a single symbol was often used to represent amultiplicity of disparate concepts in a number of cases. Forexample, the symbol D was used to represent dead loads, bardiameter, column diameter, and wall length. Also a numberof slightly different definitions of the same basic conceptwere represe

18、nted by a single symbol, such as t to representmany kinds of thickness. With the rapid development of newknowledge and the corresponding continual need for newsymbols, the need for a consistent method for the con-struction and definition of symbols was apparent.In the 1977 Code, the subscript u has

19、been reserved forload effects (shear force, bending moment) computed fromfactored loads. The subscript n is used for nominal strengthwhich is the strength calculated using the nominal values offc, fy, etc., and the standard calculation procedures.Development of standard notationRecognizing the need

20、for a standard, the Technical Activi-ties Committee of ACI organized Committee 104, Notation,in 1964. Initially, the committee examined the notation*prepared by Commission VII, Notation and Terminology, ofthe Comite Europeen du Beton (European Concrete Com-mittee) to see if it could be adopted in to

21、to since one of thegoals was the attainment of a universal standard. However,the first version of the notation prepared by CEB VII was feltto be unacceptable since it involved the use of a large numberof sub- and superscripts and Greek letters. Hence, it wasnecessary for ACI 104 to develop an indepe

22、ndent notationwhich was, however, modeled as closely as possible on thatof the CEB. The first version of the ACI 104. notation waspublished in the May 1968 ACI JOURNAL.2Close liaison between ACI 104 and CEB VII was main-tained by having several persons serve simultaneously asmembers of each committe

23、e. The possibility of arriving at acommon ACI-CEB notation was continuously explored butappeared unlikely until about 1969, since the CEB notationhad already been adopted by several countries for use intheir national building codes. However, at the 13th biennialmeeting of the CEB, held at Schevening

24、en, Netherlands, inSeptember 1969, discussions of a common ACI-CEBStandard for notation were held. Extensive discussions wereconducted jointly by ACI 104 and CEB VII and also thegeneral assembly discussed notation during two meetings.The point was repeatedly made that several major codes,including t

25、he ACI, the CEB, the British, the Scandinavian,and others, were soon to appear in new editions and that theScheveningen meeting represented the last chance to arriveat a common standard for perhaps decades. During thediscussions numerous compromises were made and a pro-posed standard was developed.

26、The standard was adoptedby the CEB general assembly contingent upon its acceptanceby the ACI. The standard was then presented to ACImembership vote and adopted as an ACI standard in 1971.The new standard for preparation of notation for concretethus became the first universal standard in any professi

27、on.The logic of the system described in Table 1 of thestandard lies in the selection of the leading letter of a symbolbased on a consideration of the units of the physical quantityinvolved. One exception occurs in the case of strain moduli.The symbols E and G are retained for Youngs modulus andthe s

28、hear modulus since these are now universally in use.One divergence between CEB and ACI usage is the retentionby CEB of sigma and tau for normal and shear stresses.A detailed description of the usage of each Roman andGreek letter based upon the standard is given in Appendix A.Definitions which are no

29、t italicized were jointly adopted.Italicized definitions have been adopted by ACI.Appendix B is a listing of the notation used in ACIStandard 3 18.References1.
