ICC-ES AC373 – Acceptance Criteria for Precast Reinforced Cementitious Slurry Structural Members

Scope

ICC-ES AC373 outlines the acceptance criteria for precast reinforced cementitious slurry structural members used in building construction. These members are typically made of a cementitious mixture reinforced with steel wire mesh or fibers and cast into molds to create various structural components like beams, columns, walls, and panels. The scope of AC373 includes:
  • Material properties: it specifies the requirements for the cementitious slurry mix, including its composition, strength, and durability, as well as the requirements for the steel reinforcement used in the members.
  • Design: it outlines the design criteria for precast reinforced cementitious slurry structural members, including their dimensions, reinforcement details, and connection requirements to ensure structural integrity and stability under various load conditions.
  • Testing: it details the specific tests required to evaluate the structural performance of these members, including flexural tests, shear tests, and connection tests, as well as tests for fire resistance and durability.
  • Evaluation: it provides a framework for evaluating precast reinforced cementitious slurry structural members to ensure they comply with the acceptance criteria, including a review of their design, material properties, and test results.
ICC-ES AC373 is crucial for manufacturers to demonstrate that their precast reinforced cementitious slurry structural members meet the necessary performance and safety standards. It also assists building officials, designers, and engineers in selecting and using appropriate materials and design for their projects.
