As the title “Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials (ACI 117)” implies, the toler-ances given are standard or usual tolerances that apply to various types and uses of concrete construction.

According to the American Concrete Institute (ACI), a “tolerance” is the permitted deviation from a specified dimension, location, or quantity. Common reference for concrete tolerances is Specification for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials by ACI Committee 117

ACI 117 provides embed plate tolerances that are with respect to the wall tolerances. AISC 822 and ACI 117 location and plumb tolerances and requirements for location of the embed plates have fundamental incompatibilities.
