MINI SESSION: Now There is a Problem! - Who is Responsible?

Sunday, October 26, 2025  2:00 PM - 3:00 PM, M - Stadium 3&4

Who is responsible? This a common question when projects encounter challenges. Disputes over responsibility can lead to costly delays, repairs, or removals, underscoring the importance of clearly defined roles for all parties involved. This session reviews the recently revised ACI 132-24: Guide for Responsibility in Concrete Construction and the new ACI PRC-132.2-22: Responsibility in Concrete Rehabilitation Construction. These documents provide practical guidance to all of the parties involved in concrete construction. By clarifying responsibilities in both new construction and rehabilitation, these resources aim to reduce disputes and promote successful outcomes on your project.

Learning Objectives:
(1) Summarize ACI 132-24 and ACI PRC-132.2-22 that provide guidance on the responsibility allocation for all entities involved with concrete construction and rehabilitation;
(2) Identify the typical roles and responsibilities of project team members, including designers, contractors, producers, and testing agencies;
(3) Apply key principles from the documents to real-world scenarios involving cracking, performance shortfalls, or project delays;
(4) Evaluate how early role clarification can mitigate risk, improve project coordination, and reduce costly disputes in concrete construction projects.

This session has been approved by AIA and ICC for 1 PDH (0.1 CEU). Please note: You must attend the live session for the entire duration to receive credit. On-demand sessions do not qualify for PDH/CEU credit.
