Performance requirements for standards on concrete structures
This document provides performance requirements for standards on concrete structures. It can be used for international alignment of design, assessment and construction requirements. This document includes: a) principles, which guide the selection of requirements that translate societal and owner’s expectations for the performance of the concrete structure; b) requirements, which define the required performance of the concrete structure; c) criteria, which give means for expressing the requirements; d) evaluation clauses, which give acceptable methods of verifying the specific criteria.
