Seminar Description

There is a large number of technical changes from ACI 318-14 to ACI 318-19, many of which are quite substantive and some of which are of far-reaching consequences. An overview of the extensive changes will be provided in four 2½ - hour webinars. Part 1 will address changes in Chapters 1 through 15. Part 2 will discuss changes in Chapters 16, 17, and 18. Changes in Chapters 19-24 will be presented in Part 3. Part 4 will address changes in Chapters 25-27 and Appendix A. Some adjustments in the above divisions may have to be made. Some of the bigger ACI 318-19 changes are:

  • Introduction of high-strength reinforcement (80- and 100-ksi yield strength)
  • Introduction of reinforcement grade factor in equation for straight bar development length
  • New equation for hooked bar development length
  • New and simpler one-way shear equations for nonprestressed members
  • Updated two-way shear provisions for two-way slabs
  • Newly added provisions for screw anchors and shear lugs
  • Introduction of shotcrete provisions
  • Deep foundation design provisions of IBC/ACE 7 imported into ACI 318
  • Extensive and important revisions to Chapter 18, Earthquake-resistant structures
Ample opportunities to ask questions will be provided in each part.
