Abstract:

Users of ACI CODE-562-25, “Assessment, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Structures—Code Requirements and Commentary,” will likely have a need to design or specify some kind of repair or rehabilitation. The provisions in Chapter 9—Design of Repairs, are intended to aid the designer and set minimum standards for repairs. Some of the significant revisions to Chapter 9 in the 2025 edition of the Code are briefly highlighted in this article.

Abstract:

The Gordie Howe International Bridge demonstrates how latex-modified concrete (LMC) is redefining infrastructure durability in North America. Connecting Detroit, MI, USA, and Windsor, ON, Canada, across the Detroit River, this engineering achievement features a cable-stayed design with a main span stretching approximately 2800 ft (900 m), flanked by side spans of roughly 1200 ft (400 m) on each end. The cable-stayed portion alone extends nearly 1 mile (1.6 km), making it the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America. The crossing is expected to facilitate billions of dollars in annual trade while alleviating congestion at one of the continent’s busiest international border points.

Abstract:

Launched in 2019, the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Shotcrete Inspector Certification program was established to address the growing demand for qualified, on-site shotcrete inspection personnel. Although the program has successfully certified a diverse range of industry professionals—including concrete construction inspectors, shotcrete workers, designers, and project superintendents—the United States construction industry continues to face a critical shortage of these specialized inspectors. This article describes the program and encourages concrete professionals to join the team.
