More than 250 copies of the draft of the Reinforcement Detailing Handbook have been forwarded to members and other industry groups with an interest in reviewing the draft.  Comments on the draft need to be received at the Institute's national office by the end of this month (July 2006). Once content issues have been resolved, further technical information from Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA) and the Australian Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steel (ACRS) will be added to the text to finalise what will be a substantial and authoratative publication.

Concrete Cutting Industry Association (CCIA) members will become members of Concrete Institute of Australia under an arrangement recently agreed between the two organisations.  Approximately 150 new members will be welcomed to the Institute's membership across Australia in coming months.

For details on the areas of technical expertise of CCIA members and the issues which CCIA deals with on behalf of its members, view the CCIA web site by clicking on their logo which appears below.

For further information, contact Nicole Raymond or Ian Booth at the Institute's national office.

The most recent edition of Concrete in Australia magazine commenced being mailed to members during the week commencing 17 July 2006.  Under agreements reached recently with Concrete Masonry Association of Australia (CMAA), Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA), Australian Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steel (SRIA) and Concrete Cutting Industry Association of Australia (CCIA), each organisation will provide technically based content to supplement the existing format.  These initiatives build on the arrangements already in place with National Precast Concrete Association Australia (NPCAA) and Concrete Pipe Association of Australasia (CPAA). Circulation has also increased and well over 2000 copies of each edition are being distributed to members and across the industry.

Member companies interested in advertising in Concrete in Australia magazine and members wishing to submit articles, papers or project features for inclusion in future editions should contact Ian Booth at the Institute's national office.
