The American Concrete Institute announces the availability of a new Presidents Series of webinars. The first webinar— “ACI 318: What’s in Your Spec?”—will be presented by William E. Rushing Jr., P.E., FACI, and ACI Past President. The webinar is scheduled for February 7, 2017, 1:00 pm EST and will discuss the importance of specifications in realizing the designer’s intentions for the concrete being placed and constructed. Key aspects of several ACI documents, including 318-14, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary, and 301-16 Specifications for Structural Concrete, will be reviewed to clarify the engineer’s responsibility in writing the material and specifying performance requirements for concrete construction. Specific learning objectives include: Writing a code-compliant project construction specification that is in conformance with the requirements of ACI 318-14. Specify project concrete requirements using the designated exposure classes and conditions from Chapter 19 for freeze/thaw, sulfate, water contact, and corrosions protection. Apply information from Chapter 26, “Construction Documents and Inspection,” of ACI 318-14 to write a complete project specification. Understand how to use ACI 301-16 in developing project specifications Rushing is a Vice President with Waldemar S. Nelson & Company, Inc. in New Orleans, LA, USA.
