- This paper reports the first-year activity of JCI-TC 115 FS "Research Committee on Diagnosis of ASR-affected Structures". An attitude survey was carried out in order to investigate the recognition of concrete engineers in regard to current preventive measures and diagnosis of ASR-affected structures. From the results, more than half of respondents recognized that it is required to establish the preventive measures appropriate for priority of the structure.
