ACI Code Requirements and Specifications for Concrete Design, Construction and Repair Course
Introduction:
This course will provide a comprehensive exploration of the concrete design and construction guidelines outlined in the ACI (American Concrete Institute). It aims to familiarize trainers with the code while highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. The primary focus will be on the acceptance and evaluation of concrete, which is of utmost importance for engineers involved in concrete construction.
The course will also cover the design of formwork and steel detailing, aligning with the requirements set forth by the ACI. Special attention will be given to protecting steel bars from corrosion, as the ACI offers specific specifications and recommendations in this regard. Additionally, the course will address the challenges associated with constructing concrete in hot climates, providing valuable insights and strategies for tackling this issue.
Course Objectives:
The objective of this seminar is to train people who are interested in using American Concrete Institute Standard ACI to be familiar with using this standard. The concept and basics of codes and standards will be introduced concerning the probability of failure specifically in ACI. The recent ACI code will be presented for design and construction for a concrete structure.
