(8hrs. / 0.8 IACET CEUs)
This class combines two modules designed to improve your reinforced concrete structures. Starting with ENGINEERING 103: Structural Engineering, you will get the basics of loads, forces, and stresses and how to resist them with reinforced concrete. Students won't become structural engineers but they will understand how it works so that construction details are understood and followed. Then CONSTRUCTION 233: ACI-Certified Shotcrete Nozzleman (Wet and/or Dry Process) Classroom Training will explain the basics of shotcrete and prepare students for potential examination to become an ACI-certified Shotcrete Nozzleman. The first module is taught by renowned engineer, David Peterson, P.E., SWD Master and the second module is taught by the American Shotcrete Association's Past President, Bill Drakeley, SWD Master.
Learning Objectives:
- Define compression, tension, and shear forces, bending moments, live and dead loads.
- Describe reinforcing steel design, details, and installation.
- Examine code requirements of ACI 318, ACI 350, ACI 506, ASA, and the IBC.
- List shotcrete terminology and identify best practices for shotcrete preparation, equipment setup, and placement methods.
ENGINEERING 103: Structural Engineering (2hrs. / 0.2 IACET CEUs)
David Peterson, P.E., SWD Master
Learning Objectives:
- Define compression, tension, and shear forces, bending moments, live and dead loads.
- Describe reinforcing steel design, details, and installation.
- Discuss concrete compressive strengths and design details.
- Examine code requirements of ACI 318, ACI 350, ASA, and the IBC.
Watershape vessels must resist geologic forces and maintain a leak-free shell. The purpose of this module is to provide a basic understanding of structural design and detailing so that mistakes are avoided during construction. It is not the intent of this module to teach structural engineering. Understanding basic concepts such as the difference between a soil-retaining wall and a free-standing wall may make the difference between project success and complete structural failure. Advanced foundation design for caissons, timber piles, helical piles, auger-cast piles and other foundations are introduced in ENGINEERING 303: Pier & Beam Foundations.
CONSTRUCTION 233: ACI-Certified Shotcrete Nozzleman (Wet and/or Dry Process) Classroom Training (6 hrs. / 0.6 IACET CEUs)
William R. Drakeley, SWD Master
Learning Objectives:
- Examine Shotcrete Education for the Nozzleman as well as review for owners, contractors and/project managers. ACI Manual CP-60 Craftsman Workbook for ACI Certification of Shotcrete Nozzleman.
- Examine American Shotcrete Association guidelines, and position statements. (Compressive (Strength) Values of Pool Shotcrete; Definitions of Key Shotcrete Terminology; Sustainability of Shotcrete in the Pool Industry; Watertight Shotcrete for Swimming Pools; Monolithic Shotcrete for Swimming Pools (No Cold Joints).
- Discuss design, engineering, details, overview of parameters needed in place before, during, and after shooting takes place. ACI 506R-16 Guide to Shotcrete.
- Examine Nozzleman certification.
The American Concrete Institute has several requirements for concrete structures and shotcrete, and this program will highlight and explain the key considerations. The American Shotcrete Association contributes to the development of the ACI codes and they have shotcrete-specific guidelines and position statements that help ensure proper placement and strength. Learn the importance and requirements of ACI Shotcrete Nozzleman Certification – it just might be a requirement for your next big project.
