The course will focus on advances in the serviceability of concrete structures. Of interest are presentations concerning a wide variety of technical aspects from laboratory experiments to field applications. Specific subjects include the prediction of deflections in reinforced and prestressed concrete members, cracking problems and mitigation methodologies, state-of-the-art evaluation techniques, strategies to achieve the concept of serviceability-based design and construction, and practical approaches that can assist engineering professionals in retaining serviceability requirements.

The contents of this course include three recorded presentations from the ACI 2024 Fall Convention:

• The Serviceability of Reinforced Concrete Explosives Operation Locations (EOLs) and Live-Fire Training Facilities by Michael Pickett and Daniel Richey, US Army Corps of Engineers

• Simplified Method for Serviceability Design of Cracked Prestressed Concrete Members Belonging to Class C Section by Deuckhang Lee, Chungbuk National University

• In-Situ Stress Measurement of Bar Embedded in Concrete by Mohammad Nikoukalam, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger

1. Explain recent advances in research with regard to serviceability.
2. Report on assessment methodologies for constructed concrete structures.
3. Recognize emerging concepts in the area of serviceability-based design.
4. Describe how laboratory research is translated into practice.
