Publisher History

The Concrete Centre is the central development organisation for the UK concrete sector and provides material, design and construction guidance. Their aim is to enable all those involved in the design, use and performance of concrete to realise the potential of the material. Funded by 15 major cement and concrete organisations, the Concrete Centre works alongside the British Cement Association, The Concrete Society, and the ready mix and precast concrete industries to ensure an integrated approach from the concrete sector to technical support, research, education, training and information services. The Reinforced Concrete Council and the Ready Mixed Concrete Bureau are now part of The Concrete Centre.
