AC358 Revision Update
Ad Hoc Committee of Manufacturers and Consultants Being Formed to Revise AC358
by contributors Moncef Souissi and Gary Seider
March 22, 2011
Many people in the industry are interested and concerned about the ongoing status
of the ICC-
DFI Helical Foundation and Tieback (HFT) committee members Moncef Souissi and Gary Seider are fronting the effort to pull together another ad hoc committee to address the needed AC358 revisions. There are nine people who have volunteered to serve on the ad hoc committee to revise AC358. The scope of the committee’s task is to suggest changes to ensure AC358 is compliant with IBC 2009 (and maybe IBC 2012), plus suggest changes to make AC358 easier to use and understand. The ad hoc committee is separate from the DFI, but the HFT committee will monitor its progress. The ad hoc committee is planning to meet for the first time in April. The time and location for the first meeting has not yet been determined. The current ad hoc committee members are:
- Robert Hoyt
- Moncef Souissi
- Darin Willis
- James Cherry
- Don Deardorff
- Jeff Kortan
- Kyle Olsen
- Greg Riley
- Tony Jacobsen
Any DFI member in good standing is welcome to join the committee. Interested parties
should realize there will be consultant fees incurred and there could also be out
of pocket expenses associated with the process to cover travel-
