ACI 318-08 Code Updates And Engineering of Precast Systems

 

Thursday April 28,  2011
1:00pm - 6:00pm

 

"Structural Concrete Design: ACI 318-08, ACI 318-11, and Beyond"

Jack Moehle, Ph.D., P.E., Professor of Structural Engineering, University of California, Berkeley

 

This presentation introduces the ACI 318 Building Code, the code development process, and significant recent changes.  For non-seismic design, new code provisions affect fiber-reinforced concrete, headed reinforcement, structural integrity reinforcement, prestressed sections, minimum shear reinforcement, deep beams, and how lightweight concrete is considered throughout the Code.  For seismic design, new code provisions affect A706 reinforcement, lateral stiffness for analysis, confinement reinforcement in frames and walls, headed shear stud reinforcement in slabs, splices in walls, wall piers, diagonally reinforced coupling beams, diaphragms, and intermediate moment frames.  The presentation will include discussion of plans for the 2011 and 2014 Codes, including Code reorganization, design requirements for special moment frames, and structural walls, reflecting observations from laboratory tests and recent earthquakes.  Diaphragm design considerations based on the latest NIST Technical Brief also will be reviewed.

  

Anchorage Provisions in the 2010 CBC & Beyond

John Silva, S.E., Director of Codes and Standards, Hilti North America

 

The 2010 CBC adopts ACI 318-08, but also includes additional changes to the seismic anchorage provisions.  This presentation will cover the provisions in ACI 318-08 Appendix D that differ from earlier versions as well as the specific exceptions taken in the CBC, including:  Reduced conservatism in the calculation of shear resistance for near edge anchors; increased conservatism in the ductile anchor requirements; incorporation of the overstrength requirement for non-ductile anchors; removal of size restrictions on anchors; exceptions for out of plane wall anchorage; exception for nonstructural equipment anchorage; and revisions to the nonstructural anchorage provisions in line with ASCE/SEI 7-10.   The presentation will also include a brief preview of coming changes in ACI 318-11, which will contain significant changes to Appendix D:  Design provisions for adhesive anchors and significant changes to the seismic provisions.  This presentation assumes a working knowledge of anchor design and strength design provisions in ACI 318 Appendix D.

 

 

Precast Concrete Structures:  Design and Detailing Considerations

Glen Underwood, Chief Structural Engineer, Clark Pacific

 

In this presentation, we will discuss design, detailing, and construction issues in precast concrete structures, with a focus on constructability and emulation of cast-in-place construction.  Code provisions of ACI 318-08 unique to precast design will be highlighted, as will precast industry practices.  Topics covered include considerations for breaking up and panelizing the structures, emulative detailing of connections, constructible connection details, structural integrity detailing, and seismic compatibility requirements. 

 

 

PRESSS - "Hybrid Moment Frame"

Sashi Kunnath, Ph.D., P.E., University of California, Davis

Ryan Reinhard, S.E., Buehler & Buehler Structural Engineers, Inc.

 

This presentation introduces the PRESSS (Precast Concrete Seismic Structural Systems) and will focus on a specific type of PRESSS, the Unbonded Post-Tensioned Frame with Damping (Hybrid Moment Frame).  Sashi Kunnath will discuss the expected seismic performance of precast concrete moment frames with special hybrid connections that was evaluated through numerical simulations of several two-dimensional frames subjected to a suite of ground motions.  The objective of the study was to provide guidance on probable seismic demands of typical precast frames containing such connections in regions of high seismicity.  Ryan Reinhard will discuss the design considerations and code documents.
