GOST R 57359-2016 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 57359-2016 — "Конструкции бетонные. Правила изготовления" (English: "Concrete structures. Execution rules"). The standard establishes general requirements for execution (manufacture and erection) of concrete and reinforced‑concrete structures, covering monolithic works and the use of precast concrete elements.

Abstract

This national standard (introduced as a GOST R document) is intended to provide execution rules for the construction of concrete structures: organization of works, quality control classes, formwork and scaffolding, reinforcement and prestressing procedures, placing and curing of concrete, protection against corrosion, handling and storage, and requirements for precast element production and installation. It is prepared on the basis of the European standard EN 13670:2009.

• ICS / categories: Construction; concrete structures — OКС/ICS classification reported as 91.080.40 (concrete structures and components).
• Edition / version: First introduction of this national standard (GOST R 57359‑2016) — based on EN 13670:2009.
• Number of pages: Bibliographic records list the official print edition as approx. 51 pages (library/catalog entry) while several vendor/online copies report 57–58 pages for electronic formats; page count may vary by edition/format.

Scope

The standard applies to the execution (manufacture and erection) of concrete and reinforced‑concrete structures in buildings and civil engineering works. It covers monolithic in‑situ construction, the production and installation of precast elements, requirements for temporary works (formwork, falsework and scaffolding), reinforcement and prestressing operations, concrete placing, compaction and curing, transport and storage, and quality control arrangements for the works and components. The document is intended for use alongside material and product standards (for example concrete, reinforcement, prestressing systems) and project documentation.

Key topics and requirements

• Execution classes and quality control: specification of control classes (typically three classes) and related inspection/testing requirements for materials and works.
• Formwork and scaffolding: design, materials, erection, de‑shuttering and safety considerations for temporary works.
• Reinforcement and prestressing: handling, placement, anchorage, protection, and special instructions for prestressed elements (including informative Appendix E on prestressing).
• Concrete production, placing and curing: requirements for fresh and hardened concrete, transport, compaction, curing regimes and climatic considerations.
• Precast production and erection: requirements for manufacture, storage, transport, jointing and installation of precast concrete elements.
• Protection and durability: corrosion protection of reinforcement, measures to ensure long‑term durability of concrete structures.
• Referenced normative documents: cross‑references to relevant European/EN standards used as the technical basis (examples include EN 206, EN 10080, EN ISO 17660 series, etc.).

Typical use and users

Main users are design engineers, construction contractors, precast manufacturers, site supervisors, quality managers, testing laboratories and regulatory authorities involved in execution of concrete structures. The standard is used to define execution procedures in contract specifications, to set inspection and testing regimes on site and in factories, and to harmonize execution practices where EN‑based approaches are adopted.

Related standards

The standard is based on and explicitly references EN 13670:2009 (Execution of concrete structures) and cross‑refers to material and test standards for concrete and reinforcement such as EN 206 (concrete), EN 10080 (steel for reinforcement), EN ISO 17660 (welding of reinforcement), ETAG 013 and others used in execution practice. It is normally applied together with national product standards and project technical specifications.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 57359‑2016 is the Russian national standard titled "Concrete structures. Execution rules", adopted as a GOST R norm and prepared on the basis of EN 13670:2009 to set out execution requirements for concrete and reinforced‑concrete works.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers execution‑stage requirements: site and factory production, formwork, reinforcement and prestressing, concrete placing/compaction/curing, handling/transport/storage, installation of precast elements, protection and quality control. It is execution‑focused and complements material/product standards and project documents.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Designers, contractors, precast manufacturers, site supervisors, quality/inspection personnel, testing bodies and regulators involved in building and civil engineering concrete works.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard was approved (order № 2029‑ст) in December 2016 and introduced 01 July 2017. Rosstandart issued order № 2‑ст on 14 January 2020 that suspended the action of a group of national standards (suspension initially notified until 01 January 2022); records and vendor databases show mixed status entries (some list the text as active, others as suspended or withdrawn). For legal/contractual use you should check the current status in the official Rosstandart register before relying on the document.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is the national adoption of EN 13670:2009 and belongs to the family of standards covering concrete and reinforced‑concrete works; it is used alongside related product and test standards (EN/ISO and national GOSTs) addressing concrete, reinforcement, welding, testing and execution matters.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Concrete execution; concrete erection; reinforced concrete; formwork; scaffolding; prestressing; precast units; quality control; durability; EN 13670.
