ISO 28841:2013的目的是提供足够的信息，以便对符合ISO 28841:2013中规定限制的结构混凝土建筑进行抗震评估和修复，这两个未损坏的结构被视为不符合规定性能水平下充分响应所需的特征，以及在地震荷载下受损的结构。ISO 28841:2013中规定的设计规则是对更详细要求的简化。 ISO 28841:2013可在没有国家设计规范的国家作为制定建筑规范或同等文件的替代品，或在国家标准机构或其他适当监管组织特别考虑和接受的国家作为建筑规范的替代品，适用于既有混凝土结构建筑的抗震能力评估和抗震加固设计与施工。

The purpose of ISO 28841:2013 is to provide sufficient information to perform the seismic assessment and rehabilitation of the structural concrete building that complies with the limitations established in ISO 28841:2013, for both undamaged structures that are deemed not to comply with the required characteristics for an adequate response at a specified performance level, and for structures that have undergone damage under seismic loadings. The rules of design as set forth in ISO 28841:2013 are simplifications of more elaborate requirements. ISO 28841:2013 can be used as an alternative to the development of a building code, or equivalent document in countries where no national design codes are available by themselves, or as an alternative to the building code in countries where specifically considered and accepted by the national standards body or other appropriate regulatory organization, and applies to the assessment of earthquake resistance capability and to the seismic rehabilitation design and construction for existing structural concrete buildings.
