Biography:

Kevin joins CRSI as the Western Region Manager after 13 years of experience as a structural engineer in Tampa, Florida. Kevin’s design experience includes a wide array of structures, including football stadiums, hospitals, medical office buildings, theme park and entertainment structures, single and multi-family residential, and parking garages. Recently, Kevin was working as a forensic engineer for litigated claims mainly involving water intrusion and the building envelope. He also performed storm damage assessments and repair protocols for buildings that had been damaged by hurricanes.

Kevin graduated from the University of Notre Dame with Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil Engineering and Mathematics and obtained a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

This webinar will provide an overview of the Design Guide on the ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete as well information on the major changes that occurred from the 2014 to the 2019 edition of ACI 318. The purpose of the Design Guide is to assist in the proper application of the provisions in the 2019 edition of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-19) for cast-in-place concrete buildings with nonprestressed reinforcement.

The main goals of the webinar is to provide:

• A simplified roadmap that can be used to navigate through the updated ACI 318 requirements
• Step-by-step design procedures and design aids that make designing and detailing reinforced concrete buildings simpler and faster

Design and detailing of the following structural members are covered for buildings assigned to Seismic Design Categories A through F with emphasis placed on the revisions made in ACI 318-19:

• One-way slabs
• Two-way slabs
• Beams
• Columns
• Walls
• Diaphragms
• Foundations (shallow and deep)
• Beam-column and slab-column joints
• Earthquake-resistant structures (SDC B and C)
• Earthquake-resistant structures (SDC D, E, and F)

Design aids, flowcharts, and worked-out examples are presented that illustrate the design and detailing requirements. Included are examples not commonly found in other reinforced concrete resources.
