Overview The ACI 437.2-13 Standard for Load Testing of Existing Concrete Structures provides comprehensive requirements for the design, planning, execution, and evaluation of load tests on existing concrete structures to assess their structural performance. It includes guidelines for test procedures, loading criteria, instrumentation, and data interpretation to ensure the safety and reliability of concrete structures under load conditions.
The 2013 California Load Testing of Existing Concrete Structures Code adopts the ACI 437.2-13 with specific amendments tailored to California’s unique conditions. These modifications address state-specific seismic considerations, safety measures, and compliance with regulations to ensure that load testing of existing concrete structures in California meets high standards of safety, performance, and reliability.
