ACI 562-19 (SI) PDF Download

ACI 562-19 "Code Requirements for Assessment, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Structures" is a standard that aims to provide design professionals with guidelines for assessing the condition of existing concrete structures, as well as designing and implementing necessary repairs and rehabilitation strategies. The standard sets out minimum requirements for the assessment, repair, and rehabilitation of structural concrete buildings, members, systems, and nonbuilding structures if applicable. ACI 562-19 can be used in conjunction with the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) or as a standalone code for addressing the needs of existing concrete structures.

The purpose of ACI 562-19 is to ensure the safety and reliability of concrete structures, preventing further deterioration and extending their service life. The standard emphasizes the importance of thorough assessment and diagnosis of damage and deterioration in order to develop appropriate repair and rehabilitation plans. It covers a wide range of issues such as structural analysis, material testing, evaluation of load-carrying capacity, durability assessment, and seismic evaluation. The code also provides guidance on implementing repair and rehabilitation measures, including the selection of materials, construction techniques, and quality control.
