Price: $395 ACI Member / $495 Non-member / $150 Student
Continuing Education Credit: 7.5 PDH / 0.75 CEU
REGISTER: OCTOBER 3 (ACI HQ, Farmington Hills, MI) 8 am - 5pm
One-day seminar for contractors and engineers. Attendees will learn tips and traps associated with form stripping and reshoring and will work through calculations for a reshoring problem. Instructors will address tolerances for vertical alignment and slope, slab deflections, balcony drainage issues, and tolerance incompatibilities with cladding materials. Expectations for formed surface quality will be covered with tips for minimizing surface effects such as bugholes that can lead to disputes. Attendees will also learn how to achieve forming economies and compute form pressures. Advanced topics such as one-sided forming, forming overhangs, and SCC formwork basics will also be covered.
The training will be led by Kim D. Basham PhD, PE, President of KB Engineering, LLC, Cheyenne, WY; and Rodney D. Adams, PE, National General Manager, Baker Equipment Materials LTD, Monroe, OH.
