ACI and CRSI PRESENT A NEW CERTIFICATION PROGRAM for
ADHESIVE ANCHOR INSTALLERS
In response to recommendations in the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) 2006 report [NTSB/HAR - 07/02] primarily related to installation of adhesive concrete anchors in the Boston Central Artery/Tunnel Project (“Big Dig”), the American Concrete Institute (ACI) in partnership with the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) has developed a program to certify the installers of adhesive anchors used in concrete. This type of concrete anchor is recognized as an important structural connection in many applications, and the design, use, and installation procedures are intertwined to ensure proper performance. The ACI/CRSI partnership is aware that installer certification will be required when the 2011 ACI 318 Building Code for Reinforced Concrete is adopted into local building codes. Thus, the Arizona ACI Chapter has worked closely with the ACI international certification department to make sure we are ready to offer the program here in Arizona. The program is referred to as the Adhesive Anchor Installer (AAI) Certification.
Come hear from ACI's international certification directors on how the program was developed, what the certification program entails, and what the new requirements will be in the latest building code.
