About ACF

Organization

With the rapid development of countries in the Asian and neighboring region in recent decades, infrastructure development is at the hub of economic and engineering activities. There is a growing sense of co-operation between these countries particularly in the development and construction sectors. These involve the sharing of expertise and experience. Concrete is the single most common material being used in these constructions. The social, cultural, environmental and technological background of these countries, though diverse, is different from that of their western counterparts. Therefore, it is thought expedient to formulate a gathering organization for discussion and information sharing of research, design, construction and maintenance of concrete structures commensurate with the needs, practices and aspirations of these countries. A federation is now formed, with representatives of countries in the Asian and neighboring region, entrusted with the task of preparation and maintenance of concrete structures as well as provisions of services to the society through concrete structures.

Objectives

Thee objectives of the Federation shall be to promote understanding of concrete structures and services to the society through concrete structures in countries in the Asia and neighboring region through:


Scope of Activities

The scope of activities of the Federation shall encompass all aspects of structural concrete engineering including design, construction, materials, monitoring and inspection, testing, preservation, production of concrete elements, exchange transfer of concrete technology, rehabilitation, and demolition of concrete structures taking into consideration the technological, social, economical, environmental, aesthetic and cultural aspects of countries in the Asian and neighboring region.
