ICC-ES AC407
Full Name
ICC-ES AC407 – Acceptance Criteria for Structural Composite Hybrid Systems (SCHSs) Consisting of Structural Steel, Precast Concrete and Cast-in-place Concrete
Scope
ICC-ES AC407 establishes the acceptance criteria for evaluating structural composite hybrid systems (SCHSs), which are a specific form of composite steel and concrete structural systems. SCHSs consist of various types of composite steel and concrete flexural members.
The scope of AC407 includes:
- Materials: specifications for the materials used in SCHSs, including structural steel, precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, and shear connectors.
- Design and analysis: guidelines for the design and analysis of SCHS members, considering factors such as load distribution, deflection, and vibration.
- Testing: standardized test methods for evaluating the strength and stiffness of SCHS members under various loading conditions, including bending, shear, and combined loading.
- Construction: requirements for the proper fabrication, erection, and connection of SCHS members.
- Fire resistance: evaluation of the fire resistance rating of SCHS members to meet building code requirements.
By adhering to AC407, manufacturers and engineers can ensure that their SCHSs meet the necessary standards for safety and performance in building construction.
