The 2013 Abu Dhabi International Building Code (ADIBC) was in effect on a voluntary basis from October 1, 2013, and has just become mandatory with effect from October 1, 2014. The document is based on the 2009 IBC and has adopted ASCE 7-05 and ACI 318M-08 (the “M” standing for metric). Certain modifications to these documents were made. Perhaps the two most important (and obvious) ASCE 7-05 modifications are: 1) the maps for SS, S1, and TL are replaced with corresponding maps for UAE, and 2) the basic wind speed map is replaced with permission given to users to continue to use the basic wind speed values currently in use in the three Abu Dhabi municipalities: Abu Dhabi City, Al Ain, and the Western Region. Most of the modifications to ACI 318M-08 either accommodate reinforcing bar sizes other than those recognized in ASTM Specifications, which are in use in the UAE, or permit the optional use of BS/EN standards that are counterparts of the corresponding ASTM standards referenced by ACI 318M-08. It may be of interest to note that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, located in the same part of the world as UAE, also uses a building code based on the IBC: the 2007 Edition of the Saudi Building Code. The objective of this seminar is to train people who are interested in using American Concrete Institute Standard ACI, IBC, ASCE to be familiar with using this standard. The concept and basics of codes and standards will be introduced concerning the probability of failure specifically in ACI. The recent ACI code will be presented for design and construction for a concrete structure. The concrete design and construction precaution in ACI, IBC, and ASTM  will be discussed deeply to assist the trainer be familiar with this code and know about its strong and week point.  The acceptance and evaluation of concrete is the main aim for engineers working in concrete construction so it will be clarified in this course. The design of formwork and steel detailing will be introduced in this course in the scope of ACI, IBC, and ASCE requirements. To protect steel bars from corrosion the ACI provides many specifications and recommendations to avoid steel corrosion so the course will highlight this issue and addition to that the construction of concrete in a hot climate.
