An interesting amendment to the code. Who is now required to give the sequence? If no sequence is specified is it contractor's choice? That scare me.

ACI-318-05 - 1.2 — Drawings and specifications
1.2.1 — Copies of design drawings, typical details, and specifications for all structural concrete construction shall bear the seal of a registered engineer or architect.

These drawings, details, and specifications shall show:
a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j. k………
(l) Stressing sequence for post-tensioning tendons;

ACI-318-05 - 18.13.5.3 — The stressing sequence shall be specified on the design drawings and considered in the design.

IBC-06 1901.4 Construction documents. The construction documents for structural concrete construction shall include: 10.Stressing sequence for posttensioning tendons.

Georgia State Amendments to the IBC-06 1901.4 Construction Documents: 10. Stressing sequence for posttensioning tendons for members where the stressing sequence is necessary to properly erect an unconventional structure.
