ACI CODE-562M-21 PDF

ACI CODE-562-21, Assessment, Repair and Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Structures-Code Requirements and Commentary, was developed to provide design professionals a code for the assessment of the damage and deterioration, and the design of appropriate repair and rehabilitation strategies. The Code provides minimum requirements for assessment, repair, and rehabilitation of existing structural concrete buildings, members, systems and, where applicable, nonbuilding structures. ACI CODE-562-21 was specifically developed to work with the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) or to be adopted as a stand-alone code.

This Code provides assessment, design, construction, and durability requirements for repair and rehabilitation of existing concrete structures. Throughout this Code, the term “structure” means an existing building, non-building structure, member, system, or element, if the construction

is concrete or mixed construction with concrete and other materials.

This Code can be used in combination with an existing building code adopted by an authority having jurisdiction. For buildings, this is anticipated to be the state or local adoption of the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) developed by the International Code Council (ICC). Other

codes may be applicable to non-building structures, or to structures that are not addressed in the IEBC. The provisions of this Code are intended to be used with the IEBC and similar codes.
