ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developed two proposed standards that will have direct practical applications for new-built infrastructure. Both proposed standards are relevant to alternative non-metallic materials that are applied to concrete structures for civil and infrastructure uses. “These proposed standards will help further implement non-metallic materials,…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11734 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) has developed a new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. FRP bars are used as internal concrete reinforcement. According to ASTM International member Francisco De Caso, this new standard (D8505) is a milestone after several decades of collaboration to further integrate these composites…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11664 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help define the test methods and specimens that should be used for bolted joint related properties. Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11569 ###

ASTM International’s forensic sciences committee ( E30 ) has developed a new standard that will be used by forensic experts to determine the minerals within geological material. The new standard will soon be published as E3294. ASTM International member Libby Stern notes that soils and other geological material that are being tested as trace evidence are often too small to be tested by…

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used in the inspections of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite repairs to buildings and other civil structures. There are a number of overlapping standards and codes on FRP inspections. The proposed standard ( WK74694 ) will include the applicable current industry references, standards,…

ASTM International’s forensic sciences committee ( E30 ) has approved three new standards that will aid the study of explosives in forensic investigations. The suite of standards, which cover terminology, intact explosives, and explosive residues, were developed by E30’s subcommittee on criminalistics (E30.01). Forensic scientists, students, trainees, and those involved in legal matters will be…

ASTM International’s forensic sciences committee ( E30 ) has begun submitting its standards to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for designation as American National Standards. The E30 executive committee approved this action, with support from the main committee membership, to engage broader, critical stakeholder input into the standards being published. The forensic science…

ASTM International’s forensic sciences committee ( E30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will compile terms and definitions related to the analysis of explosives. Forensic science practitioners, students, trainees, and those involved in legal matters will use the proposed standard (under development as WK56998 ). “The proposed standard will provide a means for increased uniformity and…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11178 ###
