Increasing Shear Capacity within Existing Reinforced Concrete Structures - TechNote
Also Known As:
The ACI PRC-364.2-21 standard focuses on providing guidelines and recommendations for engineers and practitioners involved in rehabilitation projects. The standard specifically addresses the need to enhance the load-carrying capacity of members within existing concrete structures that are lacking in shear capacity.
This standard recognizes the various reasons behind the deficiency in shear capacity, including changes in usage requirements, design and construction flaws, and deterioration over time. It emphasizes the importance of strengthening these structures to ensure their ability to withstand increased load demands.
The ACI PRC-364.2-21 standard serves as a valuable resource for professionals involved in rehabilitation and strengthening projects. It provides effective strategies and techniques for increasing shear capacity within existing reinforced concrete structures, enabling engineers and practitioners to undertake efficient and safe strengthening measures.
