Requirements for Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The BS ISO 16711:2021 standard provides a set of requirements for assessing and retrofitting concrete structures to reduce the risk of seismic damage. The standard aims to prevent structural collapse or turnover during seismic events and ensure the safety of the structures.
The document outlines the framework and principles for various methods of detailed seismic assessment, as well as the judgment, planning, design, and execution of seismic retrofit measures for existing reinforced concrete structures. The standard covers both structures before the occurrence of a severe earthquake and those that have been struck by an earthquake.
It is important to note that the standard provides general provisions and allows for a wide range of choices in terms of assessing seismic damage and implementing repair and retrofit measures. It is intended to be used in conjunction with sound engineering judgment to ensure the most appropriate approaches are taken.
The scope of the standard is limited to reinforced concrete structures and pre-stressed concrete structures that have been designed based on specific structural design criteria of a particular country or region. It does not apply to unreinforced concrete and masonry structures.
