60th Anniversary of ACI 348 - Structural Reliability and Safety: Past, Present, and Future

October 26, 2025 to October 29, 2025

Hilton Baltimore & Marriott Baltimore Inner Harbor
Baltimore , MD   United States
Sponsor(s): ACI Committees 348 and 135

Description:
Meeting: The “60th Anniversary of ACI 348 - Structural Reliability and Safety: Past, Present, and Future” will be held at the ACI Concrete Convention – Fall 2025 in Baltimore, MD, USA; Sponsored by ACI Committee 348, Structural Reliability and Safety, and Co-sponsored by ACI Committee 135, Machine Learning-Informed Construction and Design.

Solicited: Since ACI Committee 348 was established in 1964, the committee has been dedicated to developing knowledge and tools on structural reliability and safety by applying advanced technologies to the design, assessment, and rehabilitation of new and existing concrete structures. To celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2024, the committee is organizing a joint session co-sponsored by ACI Committee 135. Four Sessions are proposed:
• Session I: “Code Requirements for Concrete Structure Design and Evaluation”;
• Session II: “Evolution of Structural Reliability Models”;
• Session III: “Structural Reliability in Practice”; and
• Session IV: “Emerging Techniques in Reliability-based Design and Evaluation”.
Papers are invited to present emerging approaches for modeling and assessing structural loads and deterioration effects on concrete structures accounting for uncertainties in resilience design and planning. This session accommodates the effects of both multiple hazards and multiple occurrences of a single hazard in the design lifetime for risk-informed decision-making. Also, the emerging approaches include, but not limited to, both physics-based and data-driven methods (for example, conventional probabilistic methods, artificial intelligence [AI], supervised and unsupervised machine learning [ML] methods) to improve our capability to identify, characterize, predict, and mitigate hazards and risks for concrete members and structures. Research on pure data processing is out of scope for this session.
This session is proposed with an ACI standard session format that offers up to six presentations with a 15-minute talk and 5-minute Q&A for each presentation. The presentations may be included in the on-going ACI 348 SP that has been approved by the ACI Technical Activities Committee in 2023.

Requirements: Send the following to YeongAe Heo, ynheo@sandia.gov; Ming Liu, ming.liu4.civ@us.navy.mil; and Hani Nassif, nassif@soe.rutgers.edu: 1) presentation title; 2) author(s) affiliation, address, and email; and 3) abstract of no more than 200 words.

Deadline: Abstracts are due by October 25, 2024.
