MCC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

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.
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.
