- Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Advanced Concrete Technology is a new international journal that was
launched under the auspices of the Japan Concrete Institute (JCI). JCI is a leading
professional organization that has been committed to the promotion of research on
new concrete technology and structures, as well as dissemination of practical information
on concrete practice and associated real-world applications. This publication, among
other things, intoduces international activities promoting research, particularly
on topics such as seismic design of RC structures and the rehabilitation of damaged
structures, autogenous shrinkage in early age concrete, concrete fracture mechanics,
highly flowable concrete and non-metallic fiber-reinforced concrete. At the same
time, this is intended to be a broad-based primary journal encompassing all the sub-disciplines
of concrete technology. It aims to serve as a technical forum for the cross-fertilization
of ideas, scholarly discussion, and the dissemination of practical information among
scientists, technologists and practitioners.

Prior to acceptance, all submitted manuscripts will be subjected to comprehensive
peer-review process by referees selected to ensure quick reviews done to the highest
standards. Internationally renowned experts serve in the advisory board.This journal
publishes chiefly original research contributions and discussions of previous articles.
Invited review articles, selected articles from JCI conferences, and case studies
may occasionally be published. Contributions have been abstracted in major indexing
services.
The Journal of Advanced Concrete Technology is now selecting articles, including
articles for special sections. Thus, realizing that our success will depend greatly
on quality contributions, I cordially invite distinguished academics and researchers
on concrete technology and associated sub-disciplines to submit their contributions.
Additionally, cooperation through individuals and library subscriptions will allow
the journal to thrive and meaningfully contribute to academics and practitioners.
Prof. Hirozo Mihashi
