Does anyone know where ACI specifies the allowable alignment tolerance for an edge of slab condition? For instance, when looking down the edge line of a slab, the slab is not straight but skews in and out? I started in ACI 117 but I don't see a lateral alignment that seems to fit this condition. I was expecting 1/8" in 10ft or similar for exposed concrete edge. Closest seems to be ACI 117 sect 4.5.3. but I am not sure this fits the situation.
