ISO 19338:2014 PDF Download

ISO 19338:2014 is a standard that sets out the performance and assessment requirements for design standards related to structural concrete. Its main purpose is to provide a common framework for design and construction requirements that can be used internationally.

The standard consists of three main components: requirements, criteria, and assessment clauses. The requirements section outlines the desired performance of structural concrete, specifying what needs to be achieved. The criteria section provides a means of expressing these requirements, allowing for consistent interpretation and application. Finally, the assessment clauses detail acceptable methods for verifying the specific criteria, ensuring compliance with the standard.

By providing a standardized approach to the design and assessment of structural concrete, ISO 19338:2014 promotes consistency and quality in the construction industry. It enables designers and builders to meet international standards and facilitates global harmonization of design and construction requirements.
