The Concrete Institute of Australia DurabilitySeries provides the tools for managing durabilitythrough design, construction and maintenance. As the title suggests, this document has applicability to more general concrete design and construction as well as concrete requiring specifically higher levels of durability.Z7/04 provides more specific detail covering areassuch as the impact of specifications and the contract process, impacts of design on construction, more detailed view of the materials used in construction, material quality control processes, construction process and supervision as well as some detailing issues in common structural elements that may present potentialdurability issues to the designer & constructor. In addition to this an appendix section is included on reinforcement spacers and chairs as this is an area that has demonstrated to cause weakness in durable construction and is rarely adequately specified.
