The Eastern Pennsylvania & Delaware Chapter of ACI regularly hosts educational seminars in the Philadelphia area. ACI conducts seminars on a variety of concrete-technology related topics such as structural design, durability, repair, troubleshooting, slabs-on-grade, and site paving. Instructors are taken from a large pool of ACI committee members who are educators, engineers, contractors, consultants, material suppliers, and others with significant expertise in the topic being presented. The technical material presented in each seminar is based on the most recent publications prepared by one or more of ACI's 130 technical committees and the latest thinking on these topics by the leading experts in their field.

In addition to having the most up-to-date information at each seminar, you'll receive free publications usually worth more than $100, continental breakfast, lunch and refreshment breaks.

One-day seminar for consulting engineers, government agencies including municipalities, material suppliers, testing agencies, academia, and contractors.  Instructors with extensive experience in designing liquid containing structures (LCS) will familiarize you with the requirements for Design of Environmental Structures and will present design examples to illustrate practical applications.

Complimentary publications, a $258.00 value, include:  Code Requirements for Environmental Engineering Concrete Structures and Commentary (ACI 350-06), Seismic Design of Liquid-Containing Structures and Commentary (ACI 350.3-06), and Special Handout with notes and design examples authored by the instructors.
