William G. Sebastian, Barker Steel Company

Two changes were noted to the committee roster. Mahmound Kamara’s zip code is 60077-1083 and
Javed Malik’s e-mail is [email protected]. An updated committee roster is attached. See
Attachment 1.
PRESENTATION ON THE USE OF THE ACI WEBSITE
John Glumb, a member of ACI staff, gave a presentation titled “Using the Committee Work Areas
on the ACI Web Site”. See Attachment 2. A copy of the presentation can be found on the ACI web
site.
ACI 315 DETAILING MANUAL
The committee then reviewed the draft 315 Standard and Commentary of Chapters 1, 2, and 3, which
were included with the meeting agenda as Exhibits 2 & 3. Cliff Schwinger asked what the process
would be to revise the 315 Standard. The steps were explained as:
1. The committee is responsible to write or review updates and revisions for the Standard.
Suggestions/proposals are submitted to the committee.
2. The committee comes to an agreement on the necessary revisions.
3. A ballot vote is sent out for final approval by the 315 Committee.
4. The new Standard is then submitted to the ACI Technical Activities Committee (TAC) for
their review.
5. Comments from TAC are then submitted back to the committee for response.
6. Once approved by TAC, the new Standard is released by ACI.
The committee then discussed if the 315 Standard and Commentary was necessary. Chairman Nims
stated that during the review for the current Standard, TAC commented that we should reformat the
Standard into a mandatory Standard and a non-mandatory Commentary. After discussing further it
was recommended that the Standard and the Commentary appear in the Manual as separate
documents, not side-by-side as in the ACI 318 Code.
Chairman Nims mentioned that the Manual is very similar to the first edition printed in 1946.
Dennis Hunter asked if we should consider hiring a technical writer to help with the re-write of the
Manual. Thru the years the Committee has updated the Manual using the practice of reviewing and
re-writing the same information and on occasion adding new information. Perhaps a fresh approach
from someone with technical writing experience would enhance the Manual, which could create new
interest from Architects, Engineers, and Contractors.

Meeting Minutes – March 26, 2006

Chairman Nims stated that we would try to get these items onto the ACI Committee Website for
review. He requested comments from the committee to be posted on the site or e-mailed to Secretary
Felder for inclusion in the next agenda.
GENERAL DISCUSSION
Chairman Nims referred to Cliff Schwinger’s e-mail that was discussed in the previous meeting. This
led to a general discussion. Among the comments:
•
The quality of placing drawings is declining in some areas.
•
Structural drawing must improve – Garbage in . . garbage out
•
Fabricators do not have the authority to reject structural drawing but placing drawings are
being rejected for lack of information that is not clearly shown on the structural drawings.
This has a definite cost impact to the construction process that should be avoided.
•
Reducing RFI’s (Request For Information) would benefit the Engineer, Contractor, and
Fabricator. This could also increase the quality of reinforced concrete construction.
•
The Low Bidder market may be the cause of everyone taking shortcuts on their drawings.
•
Referring to reference materials for clearances, laps, tolerances, etc. on drawings is not
always the answer. Not everyone has the same reference materials to refer to.
•
There is not enough room on drawings to re-print all of this information.
•
Placing drawings should convey all information necessary to place the reinforcing steel in the
field.
•
We have a section on responsibility of the Architect/Engineer and the Detailer. Should we
have another section on the responsibility of the Contractor?
ACI 315 SUBCOMMITTEE B
Chairman Dick Birley reported that several articles have been published in the ACI Concrete
International Magazine from the forums conducted by the subcommittee. The subcommittee is in
need of volunteers to author future articles. They are also looking for more ideas for future forums.

Secretary’s Note:
See Attachment 3 for a copy of the subcommittee minutes.
OTHER BUSINESS
Chairman Nims led a discussion on the example drawings used in the Manual. New example
drawings are needed for the next edition. Dick Birley suggested we look for drawings that would be
appropriate for the Manual. Chairman Nims suggested we find current projects to use for examples
and requested that committee members send any suggestions in for discussion at our next meeting.
ADJOURMENT AND NEXT MEETING
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn was made by Jay Hetherington and seconded by
Bill Sebastian. The motion was unanimously approved and the meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
The next meeting is scheduled during the ACI Fall Convention on November 5 through 9, 2006 at
Adam’s Mark in Denver, Colorado.
Secretary’s Note:
Committee 315 and Subcommittee 315 B will be tentatively
scheduled for Sunday, November 5, 2006.
Respectfully submitted,
Anthony L. Felder
Secretary
P.S. Thanks go out to Dennis Hunter for drafting these minutes.
