No. You must buy the code separately. The notes reference sections but do not reprint the full code (except limited excerpts in examples).

Unlike older codes, ACI 318-14 organizes the design process around the member being designed. The notes provide worked examples following this structure, facilitating faster, more accurate designs.

Members of structural engineering associations or local civil engineering chapters often get access to shared technical libraries or discounted rates on fundamental design aids like the PCA Notes. Why the 2014 Edition Remains Relevant

This 900-page resource explains the "how-to-use" the code, incorporating the philosophy behind the provisions. It remains a powerful tool for:

The is a critical resource for structural engineers, providing a "how-to" manual for applying the ACI 318-14 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete . While the official full PDF for the 2014 edition is typically a paid resource from the Portland Cement Association (PCA) , educators and students often look for specific chapters or design aids. Why PCA Notes Are Essential

The PCA Notes provide detailed explanations, design aids, and illustrative examples based on the "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14) and Commentary (ACI 318R-14)."
