Abstract

Makes the Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC) guidance and their two addenda, available in full in their original published form. As a result of the age of the BRAC documents, some of the included information (such as copies of letters written at the time) is largely of historical interest only. The BRAC report and its two addenda (the BRAC documents) for structural assessment of HAC concrete were developed by the Stone Committee following the well publicised collapses in Camden and Stepney. They were prepared from a very large body of test data, with reference to CP 3 and CP110. The BRAC documents are effectively a self-contained code of practice for HAC that has been approved by Building Regulations. The BRAC documents are the only specific guidance available and are still used alongside current standards and other codes of practice.
