ACI 318-08

[nuche1973]

Has anyone gotten the new ACI 318? Are there major changes? I'm attending the Spring convention and noticed that ACI is offering a seminar on this subject, but I am on a budget and am trying to decided if the information presented in the seminar justifies the extra expenses.

One of the changes they've made is to Appendix D. There are now some updated provisions and some guidance as to how to account for reinforcing steel.

I don't think you need to go to a convention for that part. You could just sit down one afternoon and go through a few examples.

But I don't really know what else changed.

Actually I am attending the covention for a different purpose, and the seminar is on the last day. I just wanted to see if it was necessary to stay the extra days. Thanks for the input.

They did revamp the analysis portion of chapter 10 and i think it is much better now.
