1 SEAC Existing Structures Committee Examining Issues of Existing Structures: IEBC I know what to do! Why do I need such a complex Code? Mostly, it is a simple question of - when is it necessary to structurally assess, strengthen or repair an existing structure and what provisions do I use for loads & strengths? Guidance: IEBC 2015, Model Code ACI used w/ IEBC for Conc. This committee s mission is to assist you w/ improving safety, performance & durability [codes] Gene Stevens - J. R. Harris & Company 1

2 Why do I need a code? Primary Answer is SAFETY Inconsistencies in Eng. Fractured P.T. Wires work & the I know what to do w/ the don t tell me what to do has resulted in failure rates for repairs that are inordinately high $$$. Has prompted codes for existing buildings to improve safety, performance & durability. Complexity comes from variability in conditions to address Gene Stevens - J. R. Harris & Company 2

3 ACI, Concrete International May 2017, Page 71 As an Example: LDP R/C Bldg. Mid 60 s design: Floor members do not meet ACI stirrup spacing exceeds d/2 yada yada and to compound these issues the floor Live load is being increased due to a change in use. Load ( ) vs. Strength This article explains how you use the original building code with the new live loads. No, NO, NO! This is mostly wrong. Per IEBC ( & 1007) & ACI (A.9.1) must use the current bldg. code June CI will clarify the issue of which code to use when loads change vs. a change in use or occupancy. If you do not know which code to use - Ask a committee member or use the current bldg. code Gene Stevens - J. R. Harris & Company 3

7 1927 UBC: Percent-Rule Triggers & Major vs. Minor Work Requirements dependent on Cost of Work vs. Bldg. Value Cost > 50% of Building Value & 12 Month Rule - entire bldg. must meet requirements for new construction. Cost > 25% of Building Value but < 50% & 12 Month Rule - Only affected portions must meet requirements for new bldgs. Minor Work: Cost < 25% of Building Value & 12 Month Rule - use same materials, nothing needs to meet new bldg. req mts. Solutions for the Built World Page 7

8 The Grandfathering Clause Buildings in existence at the time of the adoption of the current code may have their existing use or occupancy continued, if such use or occupancy was legal at the time of the adoption of this Code, provided such continued use is not dangerous to life.

25 WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS TO MEET CURRENT CODE? It DOES NOT mean that the existing building complies with the current code requirements for new structures, including Chapter 16. In the context of structural work pertaining to repairs, alterations, and changes of occupancy, meeting current code means the existing building satisfies the code provisions that control such work.

29 IEBC - Masonry May Meeting Structural Engineers Association of Colorado 4 IEBC Masonry Provisions Code does not include chapters for various materials Special provisions for masonry diaphragm attachments and parapet bracing. Most masonry content in Chapter/Appendix A1: Seismic Strengthening Provisions for Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Wall Buildings. (ALL METHODS, Chapter 3) Appendix A1 has pass/fail tests for existing masonry in order to QUALIFY for use of the Appendix. Atkinson-Noland & Associates

30 IEBC - Masonry May Meeting Structural Engineers Association of Colorado 5 IEBC Masonry Provisions Appendix A1 establishes a series of prescriptive requirements for masonry if the Appendix is to be used: 10% minimum FULL (not diagonal) headers (relatively restrictive) Shear Test a.k.a. Shove Test minimum value Alternative procedures for testing masonry Splitting Tensile Test 8 core Sawn Sample Diagonal Test for splitting tensile Estimation of f m from Unit Strength Tables for modern masonry only. Anchor Tests A , 10% of Existing and 5% of New (except through-wall) A &4 Location and Number of Tests (Shove Tests): Represent all conditions 1 or 2 per Shear Wall but no fewer than one per 1,500 sq. ft. of wall or eight (8) tests Atkinson-Noland & Associates

53 IEBC Assessment Criteria IEBC implies equations - strength design 1. Demand: Factored load combinations based on probability of occurrence over time [say 50 yrs.] w/c.v. (V U ). Ex. - Snows from SEAC 2. Member Capacity: mean strength with strength reduction factors based on statistical probabilities with coefficient of variation (V R ). Ex. - MM nn Steel Corbel Added to (E) Concrete Column for External P.T. reinforcement Gene Stevens of J. R. Harris & Company 13

57 Colorado Engineers are to provide the Quality of Work Expected to comply with Standard of Care Colorado s Bylaws {3.1.4} require engineers use Generally Accepted Standards and for their Work Product to be Safe. IEBC no Ref. to FRP Repairs use CO laws What is currently Safe, may not remain Safe without appropriate Repairs Fractured P.T. reinforcement Gene Stevens of J. R. Harris & Company 17

58 In Concrete Structures, detailing of the existing reinforcement need not be per ACI , if: - Seismic design Cat. A, B, or C and deterioration is addressed - The repaired structure shall have capacity demand of either original or current bldg. code. - No unsafe conditions - The structure has demonstrated historical structural reliability. External P.T. reinforcement - repairs [30 years or more via Canada s bldg. code.] ACI , Gene Stevens of J. R. Harris & Company 18

59 High Wind Regions & Diaphragm Evaluation - Look for SEAC/ESC to recommend that IEBC, sections & be revised or deleted for Colorado. - Request that you direct questions or items that you see need to be revised or explained in the IEBC to one of the members of the SEAC/ESC. External P.T. reinforcement - repairs Gene Stevens of J. R. Harris & Company 19
