Description of work
For the dissemination and exploitation of the TailorCrete concept it is extremely important that current standards and codes do not constitute obstacles or major limitations to the practical use of the concept.
Current standards and codes that apply to the various subjects of the project will be scrutinised and the possible barriers caused by these to the use of the TailorCrete concept will be identified.
If such barriers or limitations are uncovered, this information will be given to the relevant WP. In close cooperation with the relevant WP, one of the following two models will be used for solving the obstacle:
- Suggestions on modifications of the TailorCrete concept to make it comply with the standard or code, or
- Suggestions to future modifications of the standard or code in order to eliminate the barriers for the uses of the TailorCrete concept.
Furthermore, it will be investigated if existing EU directives or regulations may serve as “drivers” or barriers for the use of the project results.
It is expected that it is mainly the developments within WP2, WP3 and WP 6 that may result in possible conflicts with the current standards, codes and directives.
The work in WP 9 will be divided into tasks according to the subjects of these three WPs. Below each sub-task is described with focus on the standards and rules most likely to interact with the activities.
