PLEASE RSVP BY FRIDAY, October 22, 2024

Description:
Through a series of case studies, the presentation will describe techniques to assess damage in concrete structures, the development of strategies for strengthening to address the loss of capacity, techniques to improve durability, and review code requirements for the repair of existing structures. The case studies will introduce attendees to several newly published ACI documents related to existing structures. These documents address methods to examine sample size requirements for concrete evaluation, provide minimum requirements for capacity based on damage, and describe new strategies for reinforcement of existing structures.
