Tilt-Up Wall Design Provisions: Proper Application
2025-04-03 11:00 - 13:00
With over a half a billion square feet of space constructed annually, tilt-up concrete construction is a common building type in engineering offices across the nation. This economical style of construction is uniquely identified by the very slender concrete walls cast horizontally and tilted into place. This web-seminar presentation revisits the historical development of the original slender wall design recommendations in the late 1970s, and how the current slender wall design provisions in ACI match with concepts developed over 30 years ago. While these original concepts were based on empirical data from full-scale tests conducted in the early 1980s, only within the last ten years have we really begun to fully understand the behavior of these thin concrete members when subjected to combined axial load and large horizontal forces. The intent of the current code provisions will be discussed, some insight into their proper application will be provided, and examples of misapplications and gray-areas will be highlighted.
The web seminar will also include three question-and-answer periods.

Designing to Minimize Restraint to Shortening Cracks in Post-Tensioned Structures
2025-04-10 11:00 - 13:30
Two of the main financial benefits of post-tensioning is the reduction in slab thickness and rebar compared to non-prestressed slabs. The downside side of this reduction is post-tensioned structures can be more susceptible cracking, especially if their inherent movement is prevented or restrained. The webinar will cover the structural layout and details that are primarily used in the post-tensioned structures to minimize restraint to shortening (RTS) cracks. Typical post-tensioning slip details will be explained in conjunction with construction photographs to highlight good and poor construction practices.

Applications and Design for Horizonal Shear and Shear Friction in Concrete Structures
2025-04-16 11:00 - 13:00
In concrete members, shear friction is considered for any interface between two concretes cast at different times, between dissimilar materials, as well as for any existing or potential crack. For composite concrete flexural members, a shear interface is created when fresh concrete is placed against hardened concrete. Design for both shear friction and horizontal shear requires careful consideration for the transfer of forces across the interface. This webinar will discuss relevant provisions for the design of these interfaces in concrete structures. The discussion will also include an overview of changes from ACI 318-19 to ACI 318-25 along with requirements in the new ACI 319-25 for precast concrete structures.

Detailing for Increased Breakout Capacity of Steel Anchor Rods in Concrete Podium Slabs
2025-05-06 11:00 - 13:00
Multi-story light-frame structures are often built atop concrete podiums, and in areas of high seismicity the overturning restraint system used to secure shear walls in these buildings can produce very high tension demands on the concrete anchorage components of these systems. While the loads can be high, podium slabs tend to be fairly shallow (14” or less), and the design resistance calculated according to code provisions often isn’t enough. While anchor reinforcement detailing is address in ACI318, the form it would need to take in slab situations is not addressed. Recognizing this, a small group of practicing engineers, funded by a SEAONC Special Projects Initiative and supported by Simpson Strong-Tie, began an ambitions investigation into how to provide detailing (anchor reinforcing) that increases the breakout resistance of concrete anchors in podium slabs.

New Seismic Design Provisions for One-Story Structures with Flexible Diaphragms and Rigid Vertical Elements
2025-05-07 11:00 - 13:00
It has long been recognized that the seismic response of one-story tilt-up concrete wall buildings (and similar buildings with flexible diaphragms and rigid vertical elements) is controlled by the flexible diaphragm much more than the rigid vertical elements. Widely used seismic design provisions have not recognized or incorporated this behavior, however. Now, new seismic design provisions recently developed for ASCE 7-22 explicitly recognize this response behavior, drawing from extensive numerical studies published in the guideline document Seismic Design of Rigid Wall-Flexible Diaphragm Buildings: An Alternate Procedure (FEMA P-1026) and supplemental studies of bare steel deck diaphragms. In fact, the new design provisions go a step further to introduce a zone of reduced shear demand that improves seismic performance by allowing distributed yielding away from the diaphragm perimeter. This webinar will first present the concepts behind the new seismic design provisions, and the numerical studies addressed in FEMA P-1026 and supplemental bare steel deck diaphragm studies. A design example will then be presented, along with design and detailing tips and recommendations for practicing engineers.
