Sharing information on the innovation, development and application of concrete design standards throughout the world the focus of the 11th ACI International Workshop on Structural Concrete. The workshop took place on the first day of The Concrete Convention and Exposition, in Cincinnati, OH, USA, October 19, 2019. Sponsored by the ACI 318 Building Code Committee, the workshop brings together international users of ACI 318 and other ACI documents. The workshop disseminates the latest developments and helps ACI understand how its standards and guidelines can better address the needs of its users. Sessions included: Changes in ACI 318-19 This session contained a series of presentations describing recent changes to the newly released ACI 318-19 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. The highlighted changes included new shear strength equations, high-strength reinforcement, the new Appendix A, and new seismic provisions. Concrete Construction in the Middle East Three sessions during the full-day workshop were dedicated to discussing the innovation and challenges faced while building in the Middle East. The codes and standards used throughout the Middle East, the special construction considerations the region needs to address as well as high-performance mass concrete were discussed. Design of Super-Tall Reinforced Concrete Structures The special design considerations of super tall structures in UAE, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia were discussed in this three-session series. In each of the presentations, the role of building use, wind factors, and design were discussed. Following the full-day sessions, a special poster session featuring the work of eight early career practicing engineers took place during the International Workshop reception.
