Overview of “Recommendation for Mix Design of Fresh Concrete and Construction Placement related Performance Evaluation─2016” published by JSCE

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of “Recommendation for Mix Design of Fresh Concrete and Construction Placement related Performance Evaluation─2016”， which is the revised edition of the “Recommendation for Mix Design of Fresh Concrete and Construction Placement related Performance Evaluation” published approximately ten years ago by JSCE. This revised edition includes not only the latest information on concrete construction and materials to benefit the work of on-site technicians, but also a new chapter on the consideration of filling ability at the design stage. It is complemented by “Test method for passability of concrete through obstacle in box-shaped container with vibration (JSCE-F 701-2016)”， a newly established JSCE standard that covers methods to evaluate workability other than the slump test method.
