Ward R. Malisch Concrete Construction Symposium (Part 2)-Why Are As-Built Measurements Important (Recorded presentation)

Why Are As-Built Measurements Important (Recorded presentation)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Bruce Supernaw from the American Society of Concrete Contractors discusses the importance of as-built measurements for structural safety and construction. He highlights the need to calibrate building codes using as-built data to determine safety and strength reduction factors. Supernaw explains variations in material strengths and dimensions affecting resistance, emphasizing that construction tolerances shouldn't exceed as-built data used for safety. He mentions the evolution of ACI codes over the years and the future challenge of managing data from laser scanning. The presentation underscores the significance of aligning construction practices with structural safety criteria.
