Orange County Penny Sales Tax
By Alex Goetz, P.E.
Government & Public Relations Chair
The Orange County Commission voted to put a penny sales tax on the November 8th ballot. Orange County voters will decide whether to increase the sales tax from 6.5% to 7.5% and allocate approximately $600 million per year to transportation-related funding. The funds would be allocated in three major categories.
- 45% to Sunrail and Lynx buses
- 45% to improve existing traffic on local roads and multimodal improvements
- 10% directly to cities to fund local improvements
The East Central Brach will continue to update members on the details of the ballot measure as the election approaches.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING INSTITUTE |
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) for Structural and Nonstructural Applications in Building Construction[1]
FRP bars and meshes for use as concrete reinforcement (see Fig.1) have gained popularity by offering advantages such as resistance to corrosion, high stiffness-to-weight ratio, and lower labor and handling costs. FRP bars have been successfully used as structural reinforcement in concrete members in building and bridge projects for the past three decades.
Recently, there has been interesting in using FRP bars and meshes as secondary reinforcement for concrete members such as plain concrete footings, slabs-on-ground, and plain concrete walls in lieu of conventional temperature and shrinkage steel reinforcement.
|
Figure 1: FRP bar examples with various surface characteristics.
The International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) are the two model codes in the United States that have been developed to establish the minimum requirements to safeguard public health and safety.
When a design incorporates materials or assemblies that are not specifically covered in the IBC and IRC, building code compliance may need to be demonstrated. Section 104.11 of the IBC provisions allow an alternative material, design, or method of construction to be approved, where the building official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code, provided the material and method under evaluation is at least the equivalent of that prescribed in quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability, and safety. Subsection 104.11.1 of the IBC, which refers to research reports, allows such reports to be issued by approved sources where necessary to assist in the approval of materials or assemblies not specifically covered.
ACI Committee 440, Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Reinforcement, has commenced the development of a mandatory language design code governing the use of FRP reinforcement. This code will be dependent on the ACI 318 Code and designed to be readily adopted by reference into the model and local building codes.
Chapter 19 of the IBC refers to ACI 318 for the design of reinforced concrete buildings. Since ACI 318 does not address the use of FRP bars and meshes as a replacement for steel reinforcement, acceptance criteria (AC) for use of FRP as reinforcement of concrete have been developed by ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) under Section 104.11 of the IBC and Section R104.11 of the IRC.
The development of an AC usually starts with an application from an interested party who oversees the invention or production of an alternative construction product, system, or technology. After a review of the IBC and IRC to confirm that the proposed alternative is not within the provisions of the IBC or IRC, an AC is drafted with the help of producers, academics, and other interested parties. The draft AC is then shared with the public through an online web posting to solicit comments. Public comments are collected, a response letter by the proponents of the proposed criteria is prepared and shared publicly, and further revisions are implemented if necessary. As a final step, open public hearings are held, with independent code officials acting as an evaluation committee that listens to the concerns of the public and the responses of the AC proponents and poses their own questions and comments. The evaluation committee then votes on the proposed AC. Because the use of FRP bars and meshes as primary or secondary reinforcement is not within the current code provisions, AC454 and AC521 have been developed under Section 104.11 of the IBC and Section R104.11 of the IRC.
AC454 applies to GFRP or BFRP bars, in cut lengths, bent shapes, and continuous closed stirrups and ties (hoops), that are used to reinforce concrete structural members. Under AC454, FRP bars are limited to structures constructed in Seismic Design Category A or B using normal-weight concrete.
AC521 applies to glass or basalt FRP bars in cut lengths or meshes produced with solid wires with continuous, uninterrupted circular cross-sections. FRP bars and meshes are used as alternatives to the shrinkage and temperature reinforcement specified in Section 24.4 of ACI 318-19 for plain concrete footings and for plain concrete slabs-on-ground.
An important aspect of product evaluation is the quality control measures during the manufacture of the materials to verify that the produced materials will match the performance as previously demonstrated by testing.
The ACI Committee 440 expects the document to be completed by 2022. Once this code is published by ACI, it will be submitted for public review through the International Code Council process so it can be adopted into the IBC and IRC for concrete building construction.
The proponent of the alternative materials demonstrates building code compliance via AC454 or AC521, where AC454 applies to structural reinforcement applications and AC521 applies to shrinkage and temperature reinforcement applications.

April Activities
This month was the last full month before finals for our members. We held some events for our members to continue being involved and get prepared for the next school year. We were able to host the ECB-YMF Panel Discussion. We were joined by many professionals working in the field to answer questions from our members about life after graduation and what to expect. It was a very informative night and our members got to learn a lot from it.
We also host a game night. Our members brought their favorite board games and were able to have a fun night before starting finals the following week.
We also started our election process for selecting the new officers for next year. Members were asked to make nominations and submit a video on why they believe they are fit for that position.
Our concrete canoe and steel bridge teams have also started to select their new captains for the following year. They have had interesting meetings and showed them what to expect the new positions to be like.
As the semester wraps up, we are very happy to see how many opportunities our members have had and how much closer they have gotten by being involved. We plan on continuing to have socials and other opportunities over the summer semester. We can't wait to welcome new members and see our new officers start their new positions.
