Design of Post-Installed Reinforcing Bars for Structural Concrete Applications
Design of Post-Installed Reinforcing Bars for Structural Concrete Applications
Post-installed reinforcing bars play a critical role in structural extensions, structural joints and structural strengthening. However, selecting the appropriate adhesive system and applying the correct design provisions are essential to ensure safe, code-compliant, and reliable performance. Join this technical webinar as we explore the fundamentals of concrete-to-concrete connections, the importance of using assessed adhesive systems, and the relevant requirements of ICC-ES AC308 and ICC Evaluation Service Reports (ESRs). Participants will gain a practical understanding of how post-installed rebar connections are evaluated and designed in accordance with ACI 318-14 and NSCP 2015 provisions.
