Description
Referencing the recently published ACI 439.5R-18 document, young members will learn about the century-old reinforcing steel product and how it is used today. Experienced designers will learn how to design with it, and contractors will learn how to install it properly in today’s concrete structures. Presenters will discuss the product’s sustainability, physical properties, how it is manufactured and fabricated, how to design with it using today’s ACI 318 Building Code, and see examples of the product in its many forms used in a variety of modern concrete structures.
