ACI NETX will host the national ACI seminar on the 2011 revisions of ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete on December 13, 2011.
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has just published the latest edition of "ACI 318-11 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary". This seminar, which is cosponsored by ACI and the Portland Cement Association (PCA), will cover all of the major changes in this new edition of the Code. A major portion of the revisions are related to the addition of adhesive anchors in ACI 318 for the first time. In addition to the new anchor design requirements, the seminar will cover adhesive anchor evaluation requirements and new provisions requiring certification of the anchor installer under certain circumstances. Changes to reinforcing steel detailing requirements, allowable grades, and coating types will also be covered.
Important topics, such as detailing for structural integrity and designing using the latest in strut-and-tie modeling, will be presented and discussed.
Included with the seminar are complimentary copies of ACI’s “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-11) and Commentary” and worked examples prepared by PCA— essential items that anyone in the concrete industry will refer to over and over for the next several years.

Design of adhesive anchors;
•Failure modes and corresponding nominal strengths;
•Requirements for testing and evaluation of adhesive anchors for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete;
