Practical Guideline for Investigation, Repair and Strengthening of Cracked Concrete Structures -2003-

In spite of numerous efforts to eliminate cracks from concrete structures, there are still many cracked concrete structures. Some cracks are very harmful and should be repaired as soon as possible, while other cracks are almost harmless. Therefore, a good guideline on how to deal with cracks in concrete structures has long been needed. JCI published "Practical Guideline for Investigation and Repair of Cracked Concrete Structures" in 1980, and a second version followed in 1987. Then in 2003, a third version was published in Japanese in 2003. This volume, titled "Practical Guideline for Investigation, Repair and Strengthening of Cracked Concrete Structures -2003-" is the English edition of this latest version.
It is believed that this guideline will be of much use when cracks are detected in existing concrete structures, both in Japan and overseas.

TECHNICAL REPORT ON CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE, 1998  

This technical report is a result of a 3-year work by the technical committee on continuous fiber reinforced concrete (JCI TC952) which was set up to collect information on the current technical developments of CFR in Japan.   The report, first published in Japanese in July 1998, comprises (i) the current state of continuous fiber sheets in terms of commercial products, design guidelines and field applications, (ii) the survey results on the specifications and the test methods on continuous fiber reinforcing materials, and (iii) the assessment technique newly developed for continuous fiber reinforced concrete structures.  This report is the first ever publication in English to provide readers with the most comprehensive and latest information on CFR activities in Japan.

Test Method
Test method for tensile properties, flexural tensile properties, tensile properties at bent section, creep failure, long-term relaxation, high cycle tensile fatigue, coefficient of thermal expansion by thermo-mechanical analysis, alkali resistance, bond between continuous fiber sheet and concrete, etc.

Life Cycle Assessment
Analysis of characteristics and comprehensive assessment of CFR concrete structures, etc.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE

JCI Transactions is the annual publication in English by the Japan Concrete Institute.  This publication is intended to serve as a means to let people outside Japan know about Japan's research activities in the field of concrete technology.  Each issue consists of the translated versions of some 60-70 out of the total 400+ papers published in the JCI Annual Conference Proceedings and Concrete Research and Technology.  Volume 22 which was published in June 2000 covers topics ranging from design of structures to construction practice.  The Transactions provides readers with a broad view of the research activities and at the same time links to particular researches of interest through the references cited in the papers.
