The American Concrete Institute announces the availability of a new invaluable publication for concrete industry professionals—Guide to the Code for Assessment, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Buildings.
Published jointly by American Concrete Institute and International Concrete Repair Institute the guide provides assistance and examples to professionals engaged in the repair of concrete buildings and is available as a printed and digital book. The guide has been developed to serve as a companion to ACI 562-16 Code Requirements for Assessment, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Structures and Commentary. Although specifically developed for licensed design professionals, the guide also serves to provide insight into the use and benefits of ACI 562 for contractors, material manufacturers, building owners, and building officials.
The guide’s project examples illustrate the use of the code for concrete building repair, rehabilitation, or strengthening projects from inception through completion. These real-world examples are based on actual projects and demonstrate how ACI 562 could be used when repairs are designed. These examples provide the licensed design professional with familiarity and confidence to successfully implement the provisions of ACI 562 on several types of projects including parking garages, façade repairs, historic structures, adaptive reuse, two-way flat slabs, and double-tee stems for shear.
