Presentation by Prof. Bazant.

Starting at 9:00 AM, Bazant presented his “Unbiased Statistical Comparison of Creep and
Shrinkage Prediction Models.” Following his presentation there was a discussion of the effects of
his conclusions on the statistical portion of ACI 209.2R-08 report as approved and ready for
publication. Participants in this discussion were Gardner, Chiorino and Al-Manaseer. Discussion to
the presentation lasted up to 10:18 AM.
Bazant moved and Dilger seconded that the committee should request from TAC to withdraw ACI
209.2R-08 from publication for revision.
The discussion on the motion centered on the following ideas:
•
•

•

The need to further discuss the statistic concepts presented by Bazant.
The need to further discuss the significance of the requested revision and their effects on
the users in understanding the Report as approved, since the statistical study presented by
Bazant does not alter the conclusions from results in Tables 4.2 and 4.3 showing that the
models by Bazant and Gadner results in better predictions.
The need to agree on one data base acceptable to the authors of the models and to the
committee for the committee evaluation of the models.

Videla explained the status of ACI 209.2R-08 report. The report is ready for publication and
beyond the control of the committee. Any action on this report is entirely in the jurisdiction of
TAC.
Ronald Burg speaking as Chairman of TAC and a member of this committee explained in detail the
procedure for any individual to directly request from TAC the withdraw of ACI 209.2R-08. He
assured Bazant that TAC is willing to follow procedures if he pursues this route, but the committee
has no power to change and withdraw the report now.
Chairman Videla called for the vote on the motion on the floor with the following result from the
13 voting members present: Two in favor, (Bazant and Dilger), eight against, and three abstentions,
(Al-Manaseer, Gardner and Weiss).
There was a discussion on the need to establish a subcommittee to evaluate the statistics to be used
by the committee, on how to improve its application in the evaluation of the prediction models, and
their long term prediction.
Novak moved and Nassif seconded to appoint a Task group to start working in the next revision of
ACI 209.2R-08 report, particularly on the statistical method for comparing models. The twelve
voting members present voted in favor with no negatives or abstentions. Videla will appoint this
Task group. This Item 6 was concluded by 10:45 AM.
