ISO 13822:2010 PDF Download

ISO 13822:2010 is a standard that provides general requirements and procedures for evaluating the condition and reliability of existing structures. It is applicable to structures such as buildings, bridges, and industrial structures that were originally designed based on accepted engineering principles. The standard can be used to assess structures under various circumstances, including changes in use or extension of design working life, reliability checks required by authorities or insurance companies, structural deterioration due to time-dependent actions, and damage caused by accidental actions.

ISO 13822:2010 can be applied to structures made of any material, such as concrete, steel, timber, or masonry. However, specific adaptations may be necessary depending on the material type. The standard provides principles for considering actions and environmental influences on structures, but additional considerations are needed for accidental actions like fire and earthquakes.

The standard also includes provisions for heritage structures, with additional considerations outlined in Annex I. ISO 13822:2010 is intended to be used as a basis for developing national standards or codes of practice that align with current engineering practices and economic conditions.
