Abstract:
ACI Committee 365 published a new Design Specification in 2025. The Design Specification was developed to provide requirements to the Service Life Engineer, a specialty engineer focused on durability, for performing service life predictions of new structures. The Service Life Engineer is responsible for predicting the service life performance of concrete elements and developing requirements for the verification of the service life prediction during construction. This session will describe the Design Specification document, the role of the Service Life Engineer, and provide insights for its use in the industry.
