Summary

This presentation addresses a Code that is on a path to be adopted, by reference, into the 2024 IEBC.

Designed for Structural Engineers and those engaged in the assessment, repair, and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The class will focus on ACI 562 – 21 provisions for evaluating existing concrete structures and its impact on component strengthening with externally-applied, fiber-reinforced systems. The Instructor will discuss ACI 562’s interaction with IEBC, unsafe structural conditions, substantial structural damage, basis of design, additional load combinations for structures rehabilitated with external reinforcing systems, and interface bond provisions.

Led by Mark Jarvinen, P.E, Simpson Strong-Tie branch engineer, this presentation addresses a Code that is on a path to be adopted into the 2024 IEBC. Participants in the live event will have an opportunity to ask questions.

As a result of attending this webinar, you should be able to:

  • Explain the Basic Provisions of ACI 562-21 - repair and strengthen concrete structures
  • Identify load combinations for external reinforcing systems
  • Explain the interface stresses and reinforcement needs
  • Describe fiber-reinforced composites in this specifier space
Continuing education credits will be offered for this webinar. Participants can earn one professional development hour (PDH) or 0.1 continuing education unit (CEU) and 1 AIA HSW Credit for attending the first hour of the webinar and completing the Learning Credits quiz. An optional, non-credit 30 minute session for Q&A will follow the webinar. Contact training@strongtie.com with any questions.
