NRMCA Seeks New Consensus Committee Members on Revision of NRMCA 100

NRMCA is seeking new members to join the consensus committee for the next edition of NRMCA 100 Prescriptive Design of Exterior Concrete Walls for One- and Two-Family Dwellings. NRMCA 100 provides a prescriptive approach to the design of concrete footings, foundation walls and above-grade walls, both load bearing and non-load bearing, intended primarily for use in detached one- and two-family dwellings. The standard is a resource to architects, engineers and designers.

The committee’s objectives include review of the existing standard; incorporation of industry best knowledge and practices; alignment to the current load and design requirements of ASCE 7; and addressing industry construction challenges or concerns. The committee is expected to meet virtually once a month for two hours from March 2025 through April 2026 to achieve its set objectives.

Interest categories being sought are: 1) User groups such as architects, engineers, contractors and home builders; 2) Producers of concrete materials and products; and 3) General interest groups such as educators, researchers, representatives of regulatory agencies and technical societies.

Interested applicants are required to submit their application to standardsdev@nrmca.org. The deadline for submission of applications is Saturday, March 15, at midnight Eastern Time. For more information, contact NRMCA Director of Civil/Structural Codes and Standards Dr. Julian Mills-Beale at jmills-beale@nrmca.org.
