ISO 16311-2:2014 PDF Download

ISO 16311-2:2014 is a standard that provides general requirements and procedures for the assessment of existing concrete structures. The assessment is necessary in various circumstances such as anticipated changes in use or extension of design service life, structural deterioration due to time-dependent actions like corrosion of reinforcement, fatigue, etc. It can also be conducted for safety and serviceability checks as mandated by authorities, insurance companies, owners, etc., or to evaluate structural damage caused by accidental actions.

However, it is important to note that ISO 16311-2 does not cover aspects like personnel qualification, contractual matters, and health and safety requirements for the protection of workers during the investigation and testing of the structures. It focuses primarily on outlining the general requirements and procedures for the assessment.
