Hi All

Does anyone maybe a link/soft-copy for ACI Journal from 1 May 1966 on Freestanding Staircases?

Kind regards

This one? It appears that ACI charges for copies.

Yes, was hoping for a free copy!

But as with most things, you have to pay for quality!

If there's a university in your town with an engineering school, you should be able to get a copy from the library.
One time I got a copy from ASCE's service and it cost me over $50. For an article that did me no good. Maybe ACI shows a little mercy.
As a warning, some of the ACI documents are very theoretical. I remember one that discussed opening moment on a corner. It gave moments to failure for different configurations, which would of been useful, if they would of given the size of the reinforcing!!! Seems like an important detail.
