The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a leading authority and resource on concrete and concrete-related subjects. ACI publishes various codes, specifications, and guides for the design, construction, and testing of concrete structures. These documents are widely adopted by engineers, architects, contractors, and building officials in the construction industry.

Before the standardization provided by ACI 350.3, engineers often relied on general building codes (like ASCE 7) or specialized documents for petrochemical tanks, which were not always appropriate for concrete water and wastewater facilities. ACI 350.3-06 fills this gap by providing specific methodologies for calculating seismic forces for reinforced concrete tanks. ACI-350.3-06.pdf
