ICC-ES AC347
Full Name
ICC-ES AC347 – Acceptance Criteria for Headed Deformed Bars for use with I-codes
Scope
ICC-ES AC347 establishes the acceptance criteria for headed deformed bars to be recognized in ICC-ES evaluation reports under the International Building Code (IBC).
The scope of AC347 includes:
- Materials: specifies the acceptable materials for headed deformed bars, including steel grades and coatings.
- Design and dimensions: outlines requirements for the dimensions of the head and the deformation pattern of the bar.
- Performance: defines performance criteria that the headed deformed bars must meet, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and ductility.
- Testing: details the testing procedures used to evaluate the performance of the headed deformed bars, including tensile tests and bend tests.
By outlining these requirements, AC347 ensures that headed deformed bars meet the necessary safety and performance standards for use in reinforced concrete construction. It provides confidence to building officials, designers, and builders that these bars comply with the building codes and are suitable for their intended applications.
