Abstract:
In 2006, the ACI Technical Activities Committee approved formation of ACI Committee 562, Evaluation, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings. The committee’s main goal is to develop a code and commentary for evaluation, repair, and rehabilitation of existing concrete buildings with a target completion date of 2012. With strong input from the ACI Strategic Development Council and the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI), the repair code is truly an industry-led effort that includes participation by design professionals, contractors, owners, academics, testing laboratory personnel, and materials suppliers.
