Determining the Load Capacity of a Structure When As-Built Drawings are Unavailable
Also Known As:
ACI 364.4T-10 is a technical note that provides guidelines for determining the load capacity of a structure when the as-built drawings are unavailable. This standard is intended to assist engineers and architects in situations where accurate documentation of the structure's original design and construction is unavailable.
The document outlines a step-by-step process for assessing the load capacity of the structure based on existing information and on-site inspections. It covers various aspects such as assessing the structural system, analyzing the existing load-bearing elements, and determining the potential capacity of the structure. The standard also provides guidance on conducting load tests and evaluating the results.
The main objective of ACI 364.4T-10 is to ensure the safety of the structure and prevent any potential failures or collapses. It emphasizes the importance of thorough inspections and analysis to understand the structural behavior and potential limitations. The standard also highlights the need for engineering judgment and expertise throughout the evaluation process.
