AS 1379:1997 PDF Download

AS 1379:1997 is a standard that specifies the minimum requirements for the specification and supply of concrete. The standard covers various aspects including the materials, plant, and equipment used in the supply of concrete. It also addresses the production and, if applicable, the delivery of concrete in its plastic state. Additionally, the standard provides guidelines for specifying, sampling, testing, and ensuring compliance with the specified properties of both plastic and hardened concrete. Uniformity of mixing is another important aspect covered by the standard.

It is important to note that this standard applies specifically to the supply of concrete and is not intended for use with mortars or grouts. Mortars for masonry construction have their own requirements specified in AS 3700, while grouts to be used for grouting prestressing tendons in ducts are covered by AS 3600. AS 1379:1997 does not take precedence over existing Australian Standards for the manufacture of specific concrete products. For any additional requirements specified by the customer, it is recommended to consult the applicable contract documents.
