3 PRESENTATION TOPICS & OVERVIEWS |
|
OCTOBER 15:
Performance Based Concrete Design
|
|
PRESENTERS:
Jeremy Gregory, Ph.D.
Executive Director, Concrete Sustainability Hub Research Scientist, MIT
Michael Gryniuk, PE
Structural Engineer, LeMessurier; Chair of SEI SE 2050
Colin Lobo, Ph.D., PE
Executive VP/Division Head, Engineering, National Ready Mix Concrete Assoc.
|
|
OVERVIEW: There is a growing movement in structural engineering to adopt a performance-based approach to concrete specifications to replace commonly stated prescriptive requirements, where applicable. The movement is bolstered by the current state-of-the art of concrete mixes including continual technological advances and growing availability of mix constituents and admixtures. As a result, the prescriptive approach has become dated and lags with current code requirements and trade organization’s guidance. A performance-based approach provides a better performing concrete product and supports the push for sustainable mixes with reduced embodied carbon.
This presentation will review concepts of a performance-based approach to demonstrate the synergy with sustainable initiatives, provide basic examples and case studies, and discuss the current movement from a national perspective.

OCTOBER 22:
Structural Pile Cap Design
Using CRSI Design Guide for Pile Caps
|
|
PRESENTER:
Matthew Shergalis, PE | CRSI Northeast Region Manager
|
|
OVERVIEW: CRSI’s Design Guide for Pile Caps is a comprehensive document that details the process for designing a structural pile cap for building foundations. The Design Guide is a standalone publication intended to provide the practicing engineer with a detailed overview of pile cap design, detailing, and analysis methodologies. The document represents the current state of practice in the industry and meets industry codes and standards.
This presentation provides an overview of the content in this Guide and outlines the methodology by which the document is intended to be used.

OCTOBER 29:
Overview of CRSI’s ACI-318-19 Design Guide
|
|
PRESENTER:
Matthew Shergalis, PE | CRSI Northeast Region Manager
|
|
OVERVIEW: CRSI’s new publication Design Guide on the ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete is a standalone document intended to provide a simplified roadmap to navigate through the ACI 318-19 requirements. The document includes step-by-step design procedures and design aids that make designing and detailing reinforced concrete buildings simpler and faster. With 140 worked-out examples, this unique Design Guide is the premier reference document for structural engineers building with reinforced concrete.
This presentation provides an overview of the design process, including design for both gravity and lateral loads, outlines the theory of pile cap design, and illustrates the design aids and examples intended to guide an engineer.

Jeremy Gregory, Ph.D
Executive Director,
Concrete Sustainability Hub Research Scientist, MIT
Jeremy Gregory is a research scientist in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Executive Director of the Concrete Sustainability Hub at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He studies the economic and environmental implications of engineering and system design decisions, particularly in the area of materials production and recovery systems. Research topics include product and firm environmental footprinting, manufacturing and life cycle cost analysis, and characterization of sustainable material systems. Jeremy has applied these methods, often with industry partners, to a range of different products and industries including pavements, buildings, automobiles, electronics, consumer goods, and waste treatment and recovery. He received his PhD and MS from MIT and BS from Montana State University-Bozeman, all in mechanical engineering.
