Derek Chisholm is project manager for technical publications at
The Concrete Centre and has a background in concrete materials technology. John Gibbs is technical advisor for the European Ready-Mixed
Concrete Organisation (ERMCO). He has spent most of his career in the ready-mixed, quarrying and construction industries.

Tom Harrison is technical director of the British-Ready Mix
Concrete Association and in that capacity chaired the committee that produced ‘Guidance to the Engineering Properties of Concrete’ from which this publication has developed.

In the design of concrete structures, engineers have the flexibility to specify particular concrete type(s) to meet the specific performance requirements for the project. For instance where calculated deflections exceed serviceability limits, the designer can achieve lower deflections by increasing the class of concrete and the associated modulus of elasticity, rather than by resizing members.
This publication will assist in designing concrete structures taylormade for particular applications.
