AS 1379 Supp 1:1997 PDF Download

The AS 1379 Supp 1:1997 standard is designed to be used in the specification and supply of all types of concrete. It is important to note that this standard does not cover mortars or grouts but rather focuses solely on concrete. Mortars for masonry construction are addressed in AS 3700, while grouts for prestressed tendons in ducts are covered in AS 3600.

The document specifically considers the supply of concrete by the premix concrete industry, although it does not override existing Australian Standards for the manufacturing of specific concrete products. This edition of the AS 1379 standard aims to establish its independence from AS 3600, Concrete Structures, which was previously relied upon to some extent for concrete-related matters. The recent revision of AS 3600 and the current edition of AS 1379 have ensured that AS 1379 can now be considered a standalone document for the specification and supply of concrete.
