The New ACI 563-24 Specifications for Repair of Concrete in Buildings - What Specifiers and Repair Contractors Need to Know, Part 1 of 2

Monday, March 31, 2025 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM, Dominion North

ACI 563 is a set of reference specifications which are intended to be used for repair projects in the same way ACI 301 is used for new construction projects and is a companion document to the ACI 562 Repair Code. Unlike new construction, Contract Documents for most concrete repair projects contain little detailed specification information. ACI 563 is intended to address this issue by providing detailed and consistent reference specifications for common repairs encountered in concrete repair projects. The new specification sections include Crack Repair, Galvanic Anodes, Protective Membranes, Overlays, Precast Concrete Repair, Post-Tensioned Concrete Repair and Architectural Concrete Repair.

Learning Objectives:
(1) Explain the use of reference specifications for repair;
(2) Analyze the ACI 563 specification requirements for chemical grout injection;
(3) Review the ACI 563 specification requirements for architectural repair;
(4) Summarize the new ACI 563 specification requirements for structural precast repair.

This session has been approved by AIA and ICC for 2 PDHs (0.2 CEUs). Please note: You must attend the live session for the entire duration to receive credit. On-demand sessions do not qualify for PDH/CEU credit.
