ACI/TMS One-day Seminar
Masonry Design to the IBC and MSJC Codes
Seminar topics >
This intense one-day seminar guides attendees through masonry
design requirements while reviewing practical design examples of
typical masonry structures. Instructors will review masonry design
and specification provisions in the 2008 Masonry Standards
Joint Committee’s (MSJC’s) Building Code Requirements for
Masonry Structures (TMS 402-08/ACI 530-08/ASCE 5-08),
which is the primary reference in the 2009 International Building
Code (IBC) for the design and construction of masonry. Several
practical design examples of typical masonry elements will be
examined using the 2008 MSJC, and necessary revisions to the
design examples based on modifications in the 2009 IBC will be
discussed. In addition, a preview of the 2011 MSJC will also be
presented, so attendees can learn of the major changes that will
apply when the 2012 IBC is adopted.
The seminar will be presented by two experts on masonry who
serve on the MSJC. Although the primary emphasis will be design
of reinforced masonry, the instructors will review the major
provisions and applications for all major portions of the 2008
MSJC including:
ACI One-day Seminar
Concrete Slabs-on-Ground
Seminar topics >
All topics will not be covered in-depth. Instructors will
focus on the topics that are of interest to most attendees.
■■ Expectations relative to slab-on-ground
performance, serviceability, reference documents;
owner, local market, site-specific issues,
sustainability, and implied criteria.
■■ Engineering considerations; loads, soil support
system, concrete mixture.
■■ Moisture emission and related issues, curling
considerations, surface tolerances.
■■ Preparation, placing and finishing slabs-on-ground.
■■ Slab-on-ground thickness design. Design examples
for distributed, rack post, and lift truck loadings;
reasonable assumptions for when you don’t know.
ACI/PCA Two-day Seminar

■■ Design of Beams and One-Way Slabs
Flexural design; tension-controlled and compression-controlled
sections; minimum and maximum flexural reinforcement;
development and splices; straight bars, standard hooks, and
headed bars; bar cutoffs; structural integrity reinforcement;
flexural crack control reinforcement; skin reinforcement;
shear design; torsion design and detailing
■■ Design of Two-Way Slabs
