Developed through a rigorous general agreement process, ACI/PCI CODE-319-25 sets minimum requirements for plant-produced and site-produced structural precast concrete
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) have jointly released the ACI/PCI CODE-319-25 in PDF format. This code offers valuable insights into the materials, design, and detailing of structural precast concrete buildings and non-building structures.
Developed through a general agreement process, ACI/PCI CODE-319-25 sets minimum requirements for plant-produced and site-produced structural precast concrete incorporating non pre-stressed or pre-tensioned reinforcement. The Design Standard Committee of PCI played important role in shaping the code's provisions and commentary, contributing their expertise to advance the industry.
ACI 319 PLUS subscribers have had exclusive digital access to ACI/PCI CODE-319-25 through the ACI PLUS Platform, featuring digital notetaking, search capabilities, 3D graphics, and cross-referencing tools. With this release, the PDF version is now available for wider accessibility, ahead of the physical print edition.
'The collaboration between ACI and PCI to produce ACI/PCI CODE 319-25 has been phenomenal said Andrea Schokker, ACI/PCI Committee 319 Chair, we owe its success to the dedication and expertise of committee members and staff in both organizations, and we look forward to continuing this strong partnership in the next cycle.'
ACI recently expanded its ACI PLUS Platform to provide industry professionals with interactive digital access to multiple new concrete codes and resources. In addition to ACI 319 PLUS, the platform's subscriptions include ACI 318 PLUS, ACI 320 PLUS, and the ACI 562 PLUS Repair Subscription, offering subscribers access to up-to-date codes, design examples, and supplementary materials.

Rubrik And Rackspace Partner For Enhance Cloud Cyber Resilience
Rubrik and Rackspace Technology have announced Rackspace Cyber Recovery Service – a new managed service for customers operating in public cloud. By combining Rubrik's orchestrated data protection and cyber recovery solutions with Rackspace's DevOps principles and managed services, enterprises can simplify and accelerate recovery from ransomware attacks. Automated workflows deliver clean data and workloads through immutable backups, zero-trust architecture and Infrastructure as Code. With Rackspace Cyber Recovery Service, critical business workloads running in public clouds can be restored in hours, helping enterprises significantly strengthen their cyber resilience. Why does this matter? Organizations running key workloads in public clouds face growing challenges when responding to cyber attacks – from limited visibility and inconsistent backup policies to slow recovery times and lack of automation to rebuild at scale. At the same time, IT leaders are grappling with increasingly complex and distributed cloud environments, making it difficult to maintain consistency, ensure visibility and execute reliable recovery. Recently, Rubrik Zero Labs revealed that 90% of global IT and security executives reported cyber attacks in the last year. In the event of major disruptions – such as ransomware attacks – many enterprises struggle to restore critical workloads quickly due to fragmented tooling, manual processes, untrusted data and inadequate automation. 'Enterprises can no longer rely on traditional recovery methods in a cloud-first, threat-intensified world,' said DK Sinha, President for Public Cloud at Rackspace Technology. 'To ensure recoverability in the public cloud, they must adopt a new approach that leverages cloud native tools, modern DevOps methodologies and trusted expertise. Through our partnership with Rubrik, Rackspace Cyber Recovery Service sets a new standard for cyber resilience of public cloud workloads.' Rackspace Cyber Recovery Service Extends Fast and Confident Cyber Resilience to Public Cloud Rackspace Cyber Recovery Service applies Infrastructure as Code and platform engineering principles to cyber recovery, enabling restoration of critical workloads across multi-cloud environments. The journey begins with a professional services-led transformation, where Rackspace experts modernize recovery architectures and codify resilient workflows tailored to each environment. These capabilities are then transitioned into a 'Day 2' fully managed service, ensuring continuous validation, optimization and operational readiness. By orchestrating Recovery as Code, the solution delivers rapid, repeatable and auditable workflows aligned with modern DevOps practices. Paired with Rubrik's immutable architecture and AI-driven threat detection and containment, it ensures clean data recovery into secure landing zones with minimal operational disruption. 'Amidst the evolving complexities of multiple cloud environments, proactive cyber resilience is not a luxury but a necessity. Together, Rackspace and Rubrik offer a differentiated, engineering-led approach to cyber resilience,' said Ghazal Asif, Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances at Rubrik. 'Specifically designed for complex, distributed cloud environments, our companies are at the forefront of safeguarding organizations against the rising tide of ransomware attacks in the realm of cloud and SaaS platforms.'

Dubai International Airport named most connected hub in Asia-Pacific and Middle East
Dubai International (DXB) has maintained its position as the leading airport in ACI's 2024 Air Connectivity Ranking for the Asia-Pacific & Middle East. DXB topped the list of the top 10 hub airports for connectivity last year, followed by Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Qatar's Hamad International Airport, and Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea. The ACI Asia-Pacific & Middle East Air Connectivity Ranking, a comprehensive, passenger-centric analytical tool developed in collaboration with PwC in 2023, is refined for its third edition in 2025. It assesses performance through three fundamental building blocks – network scale and frequency, economic weight of destinations, and connection quality and efficiency. Commenting on the achievement, Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, said connectivity is the cornerstone of relevance in global aviation, and the operator was pleased to see Dubai International (DXB) recognised once again as the region's leading hub in ACI's 2024 Air Connectivity Ranking. 'What sets DXB apart is not only the scale of our network, but the consistency and quality of the connections the airport provides,' he said. ACI said on average, connectivity across all airports rose in both Asia-Pacific and the Middle East by more than 14 per cent last year. 'The Middle East, however, isn't just recovering – it's setting a new pace. Both intra-regional and inter-continental connectivity have not only bounced back but have exceeded pre-pandemic levels by a significant margin of 18 per cent and 16 per cent, respectively,' it said. Griffiths said DXB currently serves more than 265 destinations across six continents, reinforcing its contribution to global trade, tourism, and the creation of sustainable economic opportunities. 'But connectivity at this level only matters if it is delivered with precision. Our strength lies in combining reach with efficiency, ensuring fast, seamless and secure journeys for tens of millions of guests each year,' he added.
