| Abstract: |
Asian Concrete Model Code (ACMC) is the first international code in the region as a performance based code, whose first version appeared in 2001. ACMC consists of design, construction and maintenance parts, which deal with concrete structures from birth to death. The required performance, whose verification method is provided, is safety, serviceability and reparability. ACMC introduces the multi-level document structure. Level 1 and Level 2 documents are the common code, while Level 3 document is the local/specific code. Since its birth ACMC has been serving to not only to Asia but also the whole world through ISO activities. It is believed that ACMC would be a good model for sustainable international model code because of its performance based nature and multi-level document structure. A way to make the sustainable international codes is also presented. |
