The use of European standard NF EN 206/CN has made it possible to define more precisely the responsibilities of the various players involved in the design, manufacture and use of a concrete composition. This definition includes classification into three main types of concrete:
concretes with specified properties ;
concretes with a prescribed composition ;
concretes with a composition prescribed in a standard.
The NF EN 206/CN standard has evolved several times to take into account, in particular, the evolution of knowledge in the field of durability, linked to the increasing use of additions. The latest version also includes engineered concretes, thus opening the way to resolving the increasingly marked incompatibilities between very stringent...
