ISO 16711:2021 PDF Download

ISO 16711:2021 is a standard that provides requirements for seismic assessment and retrofit of concrete structures. Its purpose is to minimize the risk of structural collapse or turnover during a seismic event. The standard outlines the framework, principles, and methods for detailed seismic assessment, as well as the judgement, plan, design, and execution of seismic retrofit for existing reinforced concrete structures.

This standard serves as a comprehensive guide, offering flexibility and allowing for engineering judgement in evaluating the seismic damage or expected damage of existing reinforced concrete structures, and determining the appropriate repair or retrofit measures. It is intended to be used in conjunction with sound engineering practices.

ISO 16711:2021 is applicable to both reinforced concrete structures and pre-stressed concrete structures that have been designed according to specific structural design criteria in a particular country or region. However, it does not apply to unreinforced concrete and masonry structures.
