Certification Programs

All too often concrete construction projects are like a game of Hot Potato. Everyone tries to hand off the concrete to the next player before the music stops and someone is stuck with potential liability. Learn how ACI 318 and 301 and ASTM C94 define who is responsible for different aspects of the concrete in the hand-off from the concrete producer to the contractor.  Jay Shilstone, FACI (The Shilstone Companies, Inc.) will be the presenter.

Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for one professional development hour at the conclusion of the event.

Registration opens at 7:00 am.  A full hot breakfast buffet will be served beginning at 7:15 am.  The presentation will begin at 8:00 am and will conclude by 9:00 am.

A 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.
