This course will focus on advances in the serviceability of concrete bridges and 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:

• Serviceability Wind Design of Reinforced Concrete Tall Buildings by Thomas Kang, Seoul National University

• Fragility Curve for Service Life Prediction of Concrete Structures by Jae Hong Kim, KAIST

• Serviceability of Concrete Structures for Explosives Storage by Christopher Moore and Joshua Umphrey, US Army Corps of Engineers

1. Learn modern approaches to serviceability design in tall reinforced concrete buildings.
2. Understand how to predict concrete structure service life using fragility curves and chloride diffusivity.
3. Identify inspection and evaluation methods for concrete structures used in explosives storage.
4. Recognize how serviceability affects structural performance, durability, and long-term planning.
