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.
