The American Concrete Institute just recently completed its second seminar tour titled “ACI 318-19: Changes to the Concrete Design Standard.” The most recent seminar series was held in over six different locations throughout the month of March in Central America and Mexico. The seminar featured face-to-face interaction with highly recognized speakers. Attendees were presented with all the major changes in the new edition of ACI 318-19 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. With the completion of ACI 318-19 seminars, comes the release of ACI’s new on-demand course titled, ACI 318-19 Changes to the Concrete Design Standard. Like the ACI 318-19 seminars the on-demand course presents and discusses all major changes found in ACI 318-19. Some of the major changes discussed are centered around the topics of higher reinforcing steel yield strengths for many applications and the associated design provision changes; the addition of shotcrete provisions; deep foundation provisions; seismic requirements for deep foundations and other applications; vertical seismic motions; nonlinear analysis for seismic design; modification to development length equations; and updated shear design provisions and equations.
