Description

This is a recorded four-part virtual seminar series delivered December 3, 4, 9, 11, 2025.

This virtual seminar series covers the major changes in the 2025 edition of ACI 318, “Building Code for Structural Concrete—Code Requirements and Commentary”. This edition is the first edition of ACI 318 in 6 years.

All major changes in this edition of the code will be presented and discussed. This includes major changes centered around the topics of the addition of post-installed reinforcing bars, anchorage of closely spaced bars, clarified and updated one-way shear provisions, clarified and expanded seismic requirements, the new sustainability and resilience appendix, the new performance-based wind design appendix and numerous other changes.

The new organization of the code started in the 2014 edition and additional enhancements to the code will be presented. These assist the designer in quickly locating the provisions they need and help assure users they are meeting all the code requirements.

Specific topics covered in the seminar include the following:

• Provisions governing performance-based-wind design

• Provisions governing sustainability and resilience

• Further and more complete inclusion of IBC provisions for deep foundations, including seismic provisions to cover deep foundations covered in the code

• New provisions regarding anchorage of closely spaced groups of reinforcing bars

• Revisions to strut-and-tie provisions

• Revised seismic design and detailing requirements

• Addition of references to the new ACI/PCI CODE-319 and ACI/PTI CODE-320

• Revisions, clarifications, and added efficiencies to one-way shear equations

• Refinements to beam integrity reinforcement

• Shear friction provision changes

• Provisions to allow headed bars for shear reinforcement

• Reorganization of Chapter 15 regarding cast-in-place joints

• Addition of reference to ACI CODE-440.11 for GFRP bars

• Coordination updates to loads ASCE/SEI-7-22

• Addition of new supplementary cementitious materials specifications

• Clarifications to tension and shear interaction in anchors

• New mechanical splice qualification requirements
