Transitioning to ACI 318-14
A significant part of this seminar is devoted to the complete reorganization of ACI 318, which has taken place from its 2011 to its 2014 edition, where it is now a member-based document. Toolbox chapters, new chapters, and reshuffled chapters are explained and clarity is provided so that engineers will be “ready to go” when they need to begin working with the 2014 standard. The adoption of ACI 318-14 by the 2018 IBC and the modifications made by the 2018 IBC to the provisions of ACI 318-14 are discussed in detail. In view of the effort involved in the reorganization, the initial expectation was that the number of technical changes in ACI 318-14 would be minimal. However, it did not end up that way. ACI 318-14 does contain a number of significant technical changes, some of the most important of which are found in Chapter 18, Earthquake Resistant Structures, and Chapter 19, Concrete: Design and Durability Requirements. The significant technical changes are discussed in detail in this web seminar.
Dr. S. K. Ghosh is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He specializes in the analysis and design, including wind and earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ASCE, SEI, ACI, and PCI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, and the ASCE 7 Standard Committee (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures). He is a former member of the Boards of Direction of the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). In addition to authoring many publications in the area of structural design, he has investigated and reported on structural performance in recent earthquakes.
