ACI 365.1R-17 PDF Download

ACI 365.1R-17 is a standard report that provides information on the prediction of service life for both new and existing concrete structures. The report is aimed at owners and design professionals who are responsible for assessing the condition and estimating the longevity of concrete structures.

The standard covers various factors that affect the service life of concrete, and it offers methodologies to evaluate the condition of existing structures. It defines key physical properties related to concrete and provides guidance on how to apply available methods and tools to predict the service life of existing structures.

Additionally, the report emphasizes the importance of considering service life prediction during the design and construction stages of new structures. It offers procedures that can be implemented to enhance the service life of newly constructed concrete structures.

Furthermore, ACI 365.1R-17 discusses the economic implications of service life and provides techniques to predict the service life of concrete structures and structural components. It also presents examples that illustrate the actual application of service life prediction techniques.

Lastly, the report identifies areas for improvement and development in order to enhance the reliability of service life predictions for concrete structures.
