Report on Technical Board (Oct. 2015) Takafumi Sugiyama Chairman of TB

Technical Board ICCMC Working Groups of WG1, WG2 and WG3 is transformed to Technical Committees TC1, TC2 and TC3, respectively. There can be more TCs in the future when necessary. The ACF Technical Board (TB) consists of VP for Technical, Chairs of all TCs and one elected EC member who is an individual member. The Working Groups in ACF are changed to TCs.

Technical Committees TC1: Design ( Chair: Dr. Dai JIAN-GUO, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong ) TC2: Construction and Matarials ( Chair: Dr. Boonchai Satitmannaitham, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand ) TC3: Maintenance ( Chair: Prof. Hiroshi YOKOTA, Hokkaido University, Japan ) *Three TC’s are related to ACMC

○The first Asian Concrete Model Code (ACMC 2001) was published in 2001 by the International Committee on Concrete Model Code for Asia (ICCMC) ○Based on the ACMC 2001, the first revision of the ACMC was successfully completed and the revised version (ACMC 2006) appeared in ○The content of each of the two versions of the ACMC contain a common Level 1 document and 3 Parts of Level 2 documents. 1) Design 2) Materials and Construction 3) Maintenance. ○Based on the ACMC 2001 and ACMC 2006, various Level 3 documents which are the local codes/standards/technical documents prepared for specific countries, describing the latest technological development in concrete engineering in the countries had been continuingly published. History of ACMC

ACMC 2014 published by ACF ○Primary content: 1. Introductory Chapter:12 pages 2. Part I – Design: 3. Part II – Materials and Construction 4. Part III – Maintenance ○Modification of the contents Reduction of the document levels from the originally 3 levels to 2 levels. ・ The former Level 1 which was the common documents for all 3 Parts is transformed to be the Introductory Chapter with minor modifications. ・ The former Level 2 is modified and changed to be Level 1 document while the former Level 3 documents are recoded / to be recoded as Level 2 documents.
