Description / Abstract:
This guide describes methods for estimating the seismic
performance of concrete components in an existing building. The
guide is intended to be used with the analysis procedures and
Rehabilitation Objectives (ROs) established in ASCE/SEI 41-06 for
the Systematic Rehabilitation Method. The methods described apply
to existing concrete components of a building system, rehabilitated
concrete components of a building system, and new concrete
components added to an existing building system. Provisions of this
guide do not apply to concrete-encased steel composite
components.
Chapter 2 recommends data collection procedures for obtaining
material properties and performing condition assessments. Chapter 3
provides general analysis and design requirements for concrete
components. Chapter 4 provides modeling procedures, component
strengths, acceptance criteria, and rehabilitation measures for
cast-in-place concrete moment frames.
