Concrete Standards

These are the Concrete Standards

29 million cubic metres of premixed concrete are produced to build and support structures across Australia every year.

The Concrete Set offers key standards and a related handbook to provide guidance around concrete structures, residential slabs and footings, construction, repair and protection, formwork and prefabrication.

The Concrete set assists in the build, protection and repair of concrete structures.

Concreters, builders, construction managers, architects and project managers will find the guidance invaluable.

Available in the Concrete set.
