ACI 318-19 Changes to the Concrete Design Standard-Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation addresses updates to the 318-19 building code, emphasizing its application to structural concrete and existing structures even when no general building code applies. New clarity is provided on the code's applicability for the repair and rehabilitation of structures, with references to ACI 562.19 for specifics. Chapter 27 discusses strength evaluation, introducing both monotonic and new cyclic load test procedures for assessing structures' integrity. Changes in load factors address disparities between dead and live load ratios, ensuring more equitable evaluation criteria. Various other ACI codes and recommendations supplement these updates for design professionals.
