New ACI Code 440.11-22: Bldg Code Requirements - Structural Concrete Reinforced w/ GFRP Bars
2026-09-25 21:00 - 22:00
Presenter: William J. Gold, P.E., Senior Engineer – American Concrete Institute, Hosted by the ACI Singapore Chapter

This presentation will identify the basic material performance properties of GFRP reinforcing bars; how they compare to traditional steel reinforcement, and how they should be used. It will discuss the basic code requirements for GFRP reinforced concrete, and how the new code relates to other key codes and standards from ACI, ASTM and ICC.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the code requirements they relate to the installation of GFRP bars and other general considerations for their field application.

Identify the basic material performance properties of GFRP reinforcing bars and how they compare to traditional steel reinforcement.

Explain where the new ACI code for GFRP reinforced concrete applies, what the limitations are for using this code are, and how it relates to other standards from ACI, ASTM, and ICC.

Gain a basic knowledge of mechanics of GFRP reinforced concrete and how it compares to steel reinforced concrete.
