PUBLICATIONS

CCAA is a highly regarded publisher of technical guides, handbooks, datasheets, and briefing notes all written specifically for architects, engineers, builders and tradespeople who design and work with cement, concrete and aggregates. If quality of design and workmanship is your objective it is well worth your while to stay up-to-date by regularly reviewing CCAA's latest technical releases.

CCAA also publishes a range of magazines showcasing the best of concrete design and application in international and domestic structures (C+A and Mix), and the latest in urban landscaping concepts (The Public Domain). If inspiration is your aim checking these publications out is a must.

Many of CCAA's publications are freely downloadable from our website - the online resource centre for cement, concrete and aggregates.



The latest of each of our publications can be found below

Latest Briefing:
Briefing 10 - Building in Bushfire-Prone Areas

This Briefing provides guidance on the design and construction of all new buildings, concentrating on solutions incorporating concrete and masonry materials. It is fundamental to this document that any building envelope, in any bushfire-prone area of Australia, should be built with materials that are robust and noncombustible.

This document complements Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia publication Houses for Bushfire-prone Sites (TN 66). The latter contains useful information on the nature of bushfire attack, retrofitting existing houses for bushfire defence, and landscaping to improve building safety in bushfires.    

This document is intended for use by any one involved in the design and construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas including building designers, architects, builders, local authorities, developers and owners.

Latest Mix:
Mix 23 - February 2008
Mix 23 focuses on issues associated with the insulation of concrete structures for improved energy efficiency, with particular relevance to residential design and new provisions of the Building Code of Australia. It includes an example of a fully insulated concrete house designed by Atelier Bow-Wow in Tokyo; and recent approaches to ‘warm'and ‘cold' concrete in the design of two apartment buildings in the Victorian Alps by Salter Architects. Mixtips provides a case study of earth coupling thermal mass in a house designed for precast concrete panel construction with a concrete floor slab in Bethanga Victoria by tUG workshop. The specification guideline outlines the design of concrete roof slabs with the installation of green roof systems for energy efficiency and reduced heat transfer; followed by a survey of research initiatives which have emerged in these applications over the past 40 years.
