AS ISO 13822:2005 (R2016) PDF Download

The AS ISO 13822:2005 (R2016) standard sets out guidelines and principles for evaluating the structural integrity of existing buildings and infrastructure. The standard aims to provide a comprehensive basis for assessing the structural condition of these structures, ensuring safety and reliability.

This standard helps engineers and professionals in the construction industry to conduct systematic assessments of existing structures. It outlines the steps and procedures involved in the assessment process, including data collection, visual inspections, testing, and analysis. It also covers the evaluation of factors such as material properties, construction methods, and load-bearing capacities.

By following the guidelines outlined in AS ISO 13822:2005 (R2016), engineers can identify any potential structural deficiencies, assess the remaining service life of the structure, and recommend appropriate repair and maintenance measures. It provides a framework for decision-making, helping professionals determine if an existing structure can continue to operate safely and effectively, or if any refurbishment or strengthening is required.
