Description

A significant part of this seminar will be devoted to the complete reorganization of ACI 318, which has taken place from its 2011 to its 2014 edition, where it is now a member-based document. Toolbox chapters, new chapters, and reshuffled chapters will be explained and clarity will be provided so that engineers will be “ready to go” when they need to begin working with the new standard in concert with the 2015 IBC. The adoption of ACI 318-14 by the 2015 IBC and the modifications made by the 2015 IBC to the provisions of ACI 318-14 will be discussed in detail. In view of the effort involved in the reorganization, the initial expectation was that the number of technical changes in ACI 318-14 would be minimal. However, it did not end up that way. ACI 318-14 does contain a number of significant technical changes, some of the most important of which are found in Chapter 18, Earthquake Resistant Structures, and Chapter 19, Concrete: Design and Durability Requirements. The significant technical changes will be discussed in detail in this web seminar.
