Jack Moehle to Chair ACI's Building Code Committee

Featured Faculty: Jack P. Moehle

Professor Jack Moehle was named Chair of the American Concrete Institute's Building Code Committee 318 for the period 2014-2019.

The Committee is responsible for developing the building code requirements for structural concrete that are adopted into virtually all US building codes, and therefore govern concrete construction nationwide. The ACI Building Code also serves as the model for building codes used in many other countries throughout the world.

Through its nearly universal adoption in university education on design of concrete structures, it plays an important role in education. Moehle has been a member of the committee continuously since 1989 and served as chair of the Seismic Provisions subcommittee from 1995-2014. He becomes the first chair from the Western United States in the over 100 years that this building code has been produced.
