At present time with her own capability, Cambodia will not be able to develop her own design codes without foreign assistance. The design codes are necessarily required for Cambodia to ensure the quality of construction in term of economical development. For the future development of the country of Cambodia, it is important to set up a kind of system that all the construction works shall be carried out by local engineers and technicians. It is high risk to use these design codes without studying and doing research.Based on the knowledge of the authors, the popular design codes used in Cambodia are ACI, AISC /LRFD AASHTO, European Codes (EuroCode), French Codes, Russian Codes, JSCE standards and Australian Standard. The different design codes used in Cambodia are not suitable for local conditions such as climate, materials, skilled labour, equipment, and construction method. It is also difficult to check the quality of materials to satisfy the design codes used due to the lack of equipment for testing, the test condition, test method and the capable of engineers about those design codes. Therefore it is quite difficult to find the materials to be suitable to the design code used. In each design code, it requires the materials with quality defined in code. Summary On Cambodian market, the construction materials are imported from various countries except some raw materials such as sand and crushed stone.
