Guide to the Code for Evaluation, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings – an invaluable companion to ACI 562-13.

The new “Guide to the Code for Evaluation, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings,” published jointly by the American Concrete Institute and the International Concrete Repair Institute, provides guidance and assistance to professionals engaged in the repair of concrete buildings. The manual has been developed to serve as an invaluable companion to ACI 562-13 Code Requirements for Evaluation, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings.

The new guide is separated into two main components: chapter guides and project examples. These two components work together to provide additional information pertaining to how to interpret the performance requirements in ACI 562 and how the requirements may be applied to a broad range of projects.

The chapter guides follow the organization of ACI 562, broken down by the corresponding sections, and include particular insight into how the chapter and section of the code fit within the whole of the project.

The project examples illustrate the use of the code for concrete building repair, rehabilitation, or strengthening projects from inception through completion. These real-world examples are based on actual projects and demonstrate potential applications for ACI 562. These examples provide the licensed design professional with familiarity and confidence to successfully implement the provisions of ACI 562 on several types of projects.

The Guide to the Code for Evaluation, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings is expected to be available in 2015.
