Tech Talk Tuesday: Current Trends in Rebar Detailing
Learn more111 Tech Talk Tuesday: Current Trends in Rebar Detailing 2019-08-13 11:30:00 2019-08-13 13:30:00 #f57921A proper detailing of reinforcement in concrete structures is very important with regards to structural behavior, safety and good performance. However, rules in codes for detailing and minimum reinforcement ratios are not always easy to understand and interpret, since there is very limited or no background information explaining the function and providing motivations. The aim of this presentation is to discuss current trends in rebar detailing and what should be expected from rebar detailers regarding shop drawings quality, presentation and content.
Learning Objectives
1. By the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to list the “10 Tips on Rebar Detailing.”
2. At the conclusion of the event, participants will understand the current trends in rebar detailing, what should be expected from rebar detailers regarding shop drawings quality, presentation and content.
3. By the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will be able to identify the common rebar detailing items often missing on structural details.
4. By the end of the event, participants will have a basic understanding of 3D rebar modeling and general understanding of where the industry is on this topic.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
Involvement with MCC has given me a direct connection to the best and brightest in Minnesota’s concrete industry, from concrete and cement suppliers, to concrete design experts, to concrete product suppliers.Thor Heimdahl, PE, SE – Sr. Structural Engineer at Life Time Architecture & Design
People don't know what they're missing. MCC has a tradition at its breakfast meetings that all attendees stand up and introduce themselves and tell everyone what they do. When you see the players in that room, you realize how important it is to be there. If you're in this industry, you need contacts and resources. And they're all in that room!Dean Stroschein – Trade Superintendent at Knutson Construction
Participating in MCC has given me the opportunity to connect with and learn about the perspectives of other individuals involved in concrete construction. As a design engineer, it has been immensely helpful to learn more about how suppliers, contractors, and testing agencies perform their duties.Doug Nagel - Associate, Senior Structural Engineer at VAA, LLC
