This presentation provides an overview of the new ACI CODE 440.11-22: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete Reinforced with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bars. ACI 440.11 was developed by an ANSI-approved consensus process and addresses structural systems, members, and connections, including cast-in-place, precast, non-prestressed, and composite construction. The Code provides minimum requirements for materials, design and detailing of structural concrete buildings and, where applicable nonbuilding structures reinforced with GFRP bars that conform to the requirements of ASTM D7957-22. The presentation will cover basic design requirements as well as requirements for construction documentation, field testing and inspections related to structures utilizing GFRP bars. Case studies of current projects and applicable uses will be provided.

1. Identify the basic material performance properties of GFRP reinforcing bars; how they compare to traditional steel reinforcement and where they would be used.
2. Explain where the new ACI Code for GFRP reinforced concrete applies.
3. Interpret the Code requirements as it relates to installation of GFRP bars.
4. Understand the basic mechanics of GFRP reinforced concrete.
