Why a Repair Code? [10]
Complicated process
Giving birth to a Code
Took 7 years to develop and
deliver
{needed about 12 yrs.}
Lack of consensus on
practice
Many discussions and we
are still debating issues
1928 Parking Garage
Repair Code Concerns?
Establish minimum
practice requirements
Fear of change
Slab-on-grade
Erosion
Grade Beam
What about
deterioration
and faulty
construction?

Changes in IBC and IEBC
for 2015 IBC Code
ICC Board approves deletion of Chapter 34 of the IBC in
favor of reference requiring the IEBC
2015 IBC Will no longer include Chap. 34, Existing Structures
IEBC currently adopted for use in 47 states and in 56% of the
jurisdictions in Colorado.
If IBC then IEBC

562 Specifics: factors
Encourage confirmation of material properties
factors from ACI-318 for New Design
If, no confirmation of material properties

562 Specifics: Typical Repair Project
1. Preliminary evaluation -
a) Are unsafe conditions present? [ACI 562-16]
b) Is substantial structural damage present? [Sect. 4.3.3]
IEBC & ACI 562 triggers for upgrade to current
code requirements
Establish design basis code
2. Must consider
Impact of damage (deterioration & distress) present
In-place geometry and material properties
562 Specifics: Typical Repair Project
Structural evaluation [Sect. 6.1]
Structural review, structural analysis or both
How bad is the structure?
A maintenance
protocol should be
provided
[Sect. 1.7C]
ACI 562 does not
want to address People

Summary of ACI 562
Performance-based code for existing concrete
structures
Goal - to improve repair practice Code/standard
Increasing flexibility & creativity
accommodating new materials
Help design professionals
Rational basis for repair permits
[help building officials]
Growing & Improving
But still a Pup
ACI 562 - Going Forward
Improve the state of practice
Incorporate work of other committees / groups
