The Concrete Committee of Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) has published a commemorative book entitled “Japan’s Concrete Technology” to honor the 100th anniversary of the founding of JSCE. The book is divided into four parts, “Structure and Design”, “Materials and Construction”, “Maintenance, Environment and Management” and “Standards”, and 77 articles concerning concrete technology are covered. Each article was contributed by a total of 65 experts in the each field who are a member of standing committee of the JSCE Concrete Committee. As the title says, this one-of-a-kind publication has gathered together the world-class concrete technologies made in Japan.

Special feature of this publication is that the articles are written in English and Japanese and both descriptions are placed in the same page. Editors carried out editing and planning of the publication with a feeling a sense of responsibility to share the great concrete technology in Japan all over the world.

This publication provides fascinating reading as a "catalogue of concrete technology" in Japan.
