ICC-ES AC403 – Acceptance Criteria for BauGrid ReinforcementScope
ICC-ES AC403 establishes guidelines for the evaluation of BauGrid reinforcement as an alternative to traditional ties, hoops, and stirrups for concrete and masonry reinforcement. The scope of AC403 includes:- Material properties: it specifies the requirements for the materials used in BauGrid reinforcement, including the type of steel wire, its diameter, and its mechanical properties such as yield strength and tensile strength.
- Design: it outlines the design criteria for using BauGrid reinforcement in various applications, such as walls, slabs, and beams, providing guidance on spacing, placement, and anchorage details.
- Testing: it details the specific tests required to evaluate the performance of BauGrid reinforcement, including tests for tensile strength, bond strength, and shear strength.
- Evaluation: it provides a framework for evaluating BauGrid reinforcement to ensure it complies with the acceptance criteria, including a review of its design, material properties, and test results.
