This Information Paper gives guidance on the nature and prevalence of long-term durability issues relating to pre-cast high alumina cement (HAC) concrete components in UK buildings and the implications for structural adequacy. It is aimed particularly at engineers and surveyors concerned with the inspection, assessment and remediation of structures but it will also interest building owners. High alumina cement is also known as calcium aluminate cement (CAC).
