ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library

ASTM International is one of the world’s most respected technical publishers of standards, technical papers, and related information.

With 13,000+ standards, 1,500+ books, and 60,000+ articles and chapters, the ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library (SEDL) is the fastest and most convenient way to access the 100+ years of technological research and expertise compiled by ASTM’s worldwide coummunity of experts.

ASTM Standards Reach Across the Globe ASTM standards are used and relied on all over the world. They are recognized as the best in their fields and so credible that over 5,000 of these standards have been adopted by countries outside of the United States. In addition, more than 60 countries are using ASTM Standards as the basis for their technical regulations, and more than 40% of ASTM’s standards are sold outside of the United States.

SEDL subcribers can choose a basic subscription, which includes only the current, active ASTM standards or a plus subscription, which includes all the active ASTM standards plus historical, withdrawn, and redlined standards (PDF documents that provide change marks to compare the additions, deletions, or other changes between an active standard and the prior version). These subscriptions provide users with immediate access to:

◗◗ Over 13,000 active standards◗◗ 6,766 redlined standards and 39,900+ historical, and withdrawn standards◗◗ Robust searches by keyword or standard number ◗◗ Immediate access to titles, scopes, abstracts, referenced documents◗◗ Full text standards in either PDF or HTML format◗◗ NEW! Videos provide visual instruction on how to perform certain test

methods (Plus subscription only)

E-Books, Journals, and PapersWhile ASTM is best known for it’s standards, the Standards and Engineering Digital Library also includes nearly every other ASTM publication -- that’s 1,500+ E-Books and 60,000+ papers and chapters, dating back to 1932.

These are seminal reference publications that provide:

◗◗ critical insight on the need for a standard as well as the technology and research that lead to its development,

◗◗ hands-on guidance on the proper application and interpretation of a standard,◗◗ first-hand accounts of user experiences and their

opinions on improvements and future needs.

ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library

E-Books, Journals, and Papers (continued)Three main collections of publications make up the books, journals, and papers of the Digital Library.

Peer-Reviewed Conference Proceedings/STPs (Special Technical Publications). Each year, hundreds of technical experts present and publish papers reflecting their research and insight on the need for new standards. These papers undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure scholarly content and technical accuracy.

Journals Library. 14,000+ peer-reviewed papers are available from ASTM’s world-renowned journals including: Geotechnical Testing Journal, Journal of Testing and Evaluation, Journal of ASTM International Backfile 2004-2012, Journal of Forensic Sciences (JOFS) Backfile 1972-2005, Journal of Cement, Concrete, and Aggregates (CCA) Backfile 1979-2004, and the Journal of Composites Technology and Research (JCTR) Backfile 1978-2003. and two new journals: Advances in Civil Engineering Materials (ACEM) and Materials Performance and Characterization (MPC).

Advances in Civil Engineering Materials (ACEM) features articles about the properties and performance of such materials as concrete, asphalt, steel, polymers and polymeric composites, and wood for use in pavements, bridges and buildings, among other applications.

Materials Performance and Characterization (MPC) features articles about theoretical and practical aspects of processing, structure, properties and performance of materials used in mechanical, transportation, aerospace, energy systems and medical devices. These materials include metals and alloys, glass and ceramics, polymers, composite materials, textiles, and nanomaterials.

Manuals, Monographs and Data Series Library. These include best selling titles such as Fuels and Lubricants Handbook: Technology, Properties, Performance, and Testing; User’s Guide to ASTM Specification C 94 on Ready-Mixed Concrete; and Fracture and Fatigue Control in Structures: Applications of Fracture Mechanics: 3rd Edition.

Easy to Search and DownloadFinding what you need is easy and fast with search features that enable you to refine and tailor your search (see right) according to many variables.

With just a click of a mouse, your document will be immediately delivered to your desktop. No more “out of print,” “out of date,” or “not in stock,” or waiting (and paying) for postal delivery.
