Forty-four JSCE concrete standards in English to be made freely available in downloadable form
(Sub-committee on Test Methods and Specifications for Concrete, Concrete Committee)

PDF Version is available: Click here


JSCE has about 140 standards relating to concrete in Japanese. These JSCE standards include test methods for concrete and specifications of material quality for concrete, just like the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) and so on. As of this time, 44 of the 140 standards (see attached list) have been translated into English.
These JSCE concrete standards are divided into 11 categories relating to the materials used for concrete, the concrete itself, and concrete structures: cement, water, aggregate, additives, reinforcement, fresh concrete, hardened concrete, concrete products, construction equipment, resin concrete, repair materials, and general.
The first distribution of English versions planned for upload to our website will consist of thirteen standards, including 10 relating to test methods for pre-stressed concrete sheaths, a test method based on EPMA, a test method for trace element leaching, and a measurement method for the resistivity of repair materials. The remaining 31 standards will be successively made available in the same way in the near future.
