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. Co-operation between these countries particularly in the development and construction sectors is vital. These involve the sharing of expertise and experiences with concrete which is the single most common material used in construction. As a result, the first gathering of the heads and representatives of concrete institutes in Asia under the name of “Asian Concrete Forum” was organized in Sapporo in July 2001, hosted by the Japan Concrete Institute. In October 2002, the 2nd ACF was held in Seoul hosted by the Korea Concrete Institute followed by the 3rd hosted by the Indian Concrete Institute in Pune in September 2003. At the Pune’s meeting, the establishment of Asian Concrete Federation was agreed by consensus among all delegates attending that meeting.
