Estimating the Deformation Capacity of RC Structures

October 26, 2025 to October 29, 2025

Hilton Baltimore & Marriott Baltimore Inner Harbor
Baltimore , MD   United States
Sponsor(s): ACI Committees 341 and 445-B

Description:
Meeting: The technical session “Estimating the Deformation Capacity of RC Structures” will be held at the ACI Concrete Convention – Fall 2025 in Baltimore, MD, USA; sponsored by ACI Committee 341, Performance-Based Seismic Design of Concrete Bridges, and Joint ACI-ASCE Subcommittee 445-B, Shear & Torsion-Seismic Shear.

Solicited: Presentations are solicited for a session on estimating the displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Estimates of the deformation capacity of RC structures have been developed since the late 1990s. Numerous methods have been proposed within seismic design and assessment guidelines to estimate deformation capacity, which can lead to variations in the assumed capacity of the structure. The objective of this session is to compare the effectiveness of existing methods to estimate the deformation capacity of RC structures as well as propose alternative, novel methods. The implications of these results will be discussed. Presentations on methods and definitions for the prediction of displacement capacity are solicited.

Requirements: Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent to Mervyn Kowalsky, North Carolina State University, kowalsky@ncsu.edu.

Deadline: Abstracts are due by February 28, 2025.
