Birth CertificateBirth Certificate

fibfib New Model Code chapter 2, will New Model Code chapter 2, will define a Birth Certificate.define a Birth Certificate.

A document, report or technical file (depending on the size and complexity of the structure concerned) containing engineering information formally defining the form and the condition of the structure after construction. The document / report should provide specific details on parameters important to the durability and service life of the structure concerned (e.g. cover to reinforcement, concrete permeability, environmental conditions, quality of workmanship achieved etc) and the basis upon which future knowledge of through-life performance should be recorded. This framework should provide a means of comparing actual behaviour / performance with that anticipated at the time of design of the structure. The document / report should facilitate ongoing (through-life) evaluation of the service life which is likely to be achieved by the structure.
