On November 12, at 3:00 p.m. CST, the ASCC will present "ACI 318-14: What Concrete Contractors Need to Know About Chapter 26", presented by Robert Howell.

The American Concrete Institute’s 318 “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete” has reorganized concrete construction and placement requirements in one chapter - Chapter 26 titled “Construction Documents and Inspection”. This reorganization of the code will benefit the design and concrete construction community by making the code easier use to ensure design documents are complete and all contractor construction and inspection requirements are met prior to construction.

  • To understand who Chapter 26 of ACI 318-14 code is written to
  • To know how the new 318-14 code has been reorganized regarding construction related information
  • To learn what Chapter 26 does to direct the Licensed Design Professional (LDP) to provide a complete set of construction design documents with inspections requirements
  • To learn how concrete contractors and producers can use Chapter 26 to ensure that they know what to do to meet all construction and inspection requirements
