Normas de Concreto de la ASTM en Español e InglésThis collection, which features 47 ASTM International concrete standards in both Spanish and English, represents the latest contemporary information in the industry and features the principal specifications and test methods most necessary for specifiers, engineers, architects, contractors, builders, testing laboratories, concrete producers and students. Topics covered in the book include: ready-mixed concrete, portland cement, concrete aggregates, pre-stressed concrete, concrete reinforcement and concrete admixtures.

ASTM Online CentersASTM International, in cooperation with several separate national concrete trade associations, is making ASTM standards more accessible to individual users in Latin America. Each trade association provides instantaneous electronic access to published ASTM standards (historical and redline), research reports and the Digital Library content through an Online Center. There are currently Online Centers in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama and Mexico (www.astm.org/OnlineCenters).

The standards of Committee C09 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates, together with the standards developed by ASTM Committee C01 on Cement and committees of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), are essential to the construction of civil infrastructure. Formed in 1914, Committee C09 includes approximately 1200 members who have jurisdiction over more than 160 standards published in Volume 04.02 of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards.

Committee C09 has 38 technical subcommittees that maintain its standards. The subcommittees are divided into four groups: concrete materials, concrete systems, concrete testing and administration.

Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates

Committee C09 and the American Concrete InstituteThere has been a longstanding agreement of cooperation between ASTM International and the American Concrete Institute (ACI) in the preparation of standards. This agreement states that, in general, standards concerned with matters of engineering design or construction shall be the responsibility of ACI. ASTM International has responsibility for the development of test methods for concrete and concrete products and for the constituent materials of concrete, as well as certain related materials such as those used in curing.

Relationship with Industry, Government and Regulation Committee C09 continues to make significant changes to its standards to encompass new materials and to improve the capabilities of concrete as a basic construction material. The standards developed and maintained by C09 contribute to industry by providing recognized safety and reliability measurements, protecting against liability through their use in contracts, providing a means of quality control, contributing to the proficiency of laboratories, and providing a basis for training and certification of qualified personnel.

CCRL and Construction Materials TestingASTM Committees C01 and C09 oversee the activities of the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL), which is located at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a cooperative program between ASTM and NIST. CCRL operates proficiency sample programs in the following construction materials areas: portland cement, blended cement, masonry cement, hydraulic cement concrete, pozzolans, concrete masonry units, and masonry mortar.

ASTM International ResourcesAbout ASTM International

ASTM International is one of the largest standards development and delivery systems in the world. ASTM standards are voluntary consensus documents that guide research, design, manufacturing, marketing and trade. For more than a century, ASTM has met the technical needs of commerce by providing standards that are accepted and used around the world.

ASTM’s market relevance is evident in more than 100 industrial and management sectors, ranging from construction materials and environmental assessment to medical devices and consumer products.

More than 30,000 individuals from 150 countries participate in standards development as members of ASTM International. Membership is open to all who have an interest in the standards affecting business and industry.

While standards developed by C01.98 will be under the jurisdiction C01, members of C09 are being asked to participate since they promulgate standards that are impacted by the sustainability assessment activity. The scope of C01.98 is to support the development and maintenance of standards related to methodologies and metrics for assessing sustainability in the manufacture and use of hydraulic cement. The new subcommittee will coordinate its activities with Committee C09, in addition to providing liaison with ASTM Committee E60 on Sustainability.

Membership in ASTM International and Committee C09

ASTM International opens its doors to all technical experts with an interest in the standardization process. As a member of ASTM Committee C09, you will be exposed to several resources and member benefits that have helped make ASTM a worldwide standards development leader. Members of ASTM and Committee C09 have the opportunity to:

• Networkwithindustryprofessionalsworldwide;• ReceiveonefreevolumeoftheAnnual Book of

ASTM Standards (inprint,CDoronline);• ReceivediscountsonallASTMpublications;• UseASTM’scustomWebcollaborationareas

andonlinetools;• StayinformedwithafreesubscriptiontoASTM’sbimonthly

magazine, Standardization News, and the monthly e-News;and• AttendCommitteeC09symposiaandtechnicalworkshopsatno

charge.

Meetings and New Member Orientation Committee C09 meets twice a year, in June and December. Approximately 150 members attend four days of technical meetings. The committee holds new member orientation at each of the biannual meetings. The orientation provides new members with an overview of the committee and gives them the opportunity to meet with C09 officers.

The annual fee to be an informational or participating member of ASTM International is $75. To join, please visit the Membership section of the ASTM website (www.astm.org/JOIN).
