Outline of a new Standard Specification for Concrete Structures [Construction] by JSCE

Abstract

A revised edition of the Standard Specification for Concrete Structures [Construction] was published by Japan Society of Civil Engineers in March 2002. The fruits of the latest research and technological developments on the concrete structures are adopted into the specification in terms of durability verification, construction methods and inspection. Furthermore, various concretes requiring special considerations (so called “special concretes”) were rewritten to the performance verification style and then are also adopted into the specification. In this report, main points of the revision are explained.
