Upcoming Events

This presentation will be an abbreviated version of the ACI seminar on ACI 318 Appendix D.  The seminar will start with the history, scope, and organization of ACI 318 Appendix D Design of Mechanical Anchors with some basic anchorage definitions.  Then we will walk through a few provisions of the appendix, explaining the procedures and provisions in simple terms.  We will review examples in ACI 355.3R-11 Guide for Design of Anchorage to Concrete: Examples Using ACI 318 Appendix D.

Dr. Lamanna has been a voting member of ACI Committee 355 Anchorage to Concrete since 2004.  Formerly a professor at Tulane University, he ran the connection testing laboratory, which tested post-installed anchors under various loading conditions.  He is currently the Chief Engineer of Lamanna Engineering Consultants, LLC.
