Abstract:

Indonesia’s adoption of ACI provisions has advanced into organized action through the ACI Western Indonesia Chapter (ACI-WIC), established in 2023. Founded by 31 professionals involved with concrete design, construction, and technology, the Chapter aims to localize ACI knowledge, professionalize concrete practice, and cultivate future talent.

Abstract:

This is the third article from ACI Committee 562, Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures, discussing changes in ACI CODE-562-25. It focuses on providing background information on novel aspects currently included in Chapter 8—Reinforcement Details and Condition for Structural Evaluation and Repair Design and probable new directions for this chapter for the next edition of the Code.

Abstract:

To overcome the time- and resource-intensive electrochemical assessments used to evaluate the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel (SS) rebar alloys, a non-destructive assessment tool such as the Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) index is important for decision-making involving building resilient engineering structures. By addressing the limitations of the existing PREN index, initially designed for SS alloys in hightemperature acidic or neutral environments, this study sought to develop a PREN index tailored for highly alkaline ambient-temperature concrete environments through a combination of electrochemical experimental analysis and machine learning modelling. This integrated approach and newly developed PREN index account for variations in SS alloying composition, concrete alkalinity, and environmental exposure conditions, addressing the growing demand for non-destructive, time- and cost-effective, and reliable alternatives for assessing SS rebar corrosion performance. Developed PREN will aid design of new and selection of existing SS alloys for reinforced concrete structures across diverse localities and applications. Two major formulas were reported, one for electrochemical parameters and the other for PREN related to these electrochemical parameters, each establishing their relationship with major SS alloying elements (i.e., Cr, Ni, Mo, Mn), concrete type (i.e. pH of testing solution), and concentration of deleterious species in exposure environment (i.e. chloride, sulphate). This study marks an initial step toward developing a non-destructive corrosion-performance assessment tool for civil engineering applications.

Abstract:

ACI Committee 365 published a new Design Specification in 2024. The Design Specification was developed to provide requirements to the Service Life Engineer, a specialty engineer focused on durability, for performing service life predictions of new structures. The Service Life Engineer is responsible for predicting the service life performance of concrete elements and developing requirements for the verification of the service life prediction during construction. The Service Life Report, developed during or prior to construction, and a Service Life Record Report, delivered at the completion of construction, are deliverables prepared by the Service Life Engineer at the completion of the project. The requirements of the Design Specification aim to provide consistency to the practice of service life prediction of new concrete structures. The technical requirements for performing service life predictions following the Design Specification are discussed in this paper.
