Hey all - I just purchased ACI 318-05 but do not have it yet. I think I remember reading that the concrete load factors changed in this edition - have they? If so, can you tell me what they are now? I need to do some preliminary calcs and don't have the book yet. Thanks in advance!

phi for shear is now 0.75
phi for bending is still 0.9
 
FWIW: These changes had already been made in 318-02.
 
Yeah I guess it's been a while since I've designed concrete. Thanks for the help!
 
yea, i thought those phi factors were in the 02 as well.
