BMC-10 10th International Symposium on Brittle Matrix Composites

The BMC is a tri-annual highly prestigious symposium focusing on the research, development and application of different composite materials with matrices behaving as brittle under normal or special conditions. The present Symposium follows the highly successful EUROMECH 204 Colloquium on Brittle Matrix Composites held in Jablonna in November 1985, renamed BMC 1, the Second Symposium BMC 2 in Cedzyna in September 1988, and all next Symposia BMC every three years in Warsaw.

Papers are expected on the following themes:
- Mineralogy and microstructure
- Hydration
- Durability, sustainability
- Interactions of cement paste with aggregates and reinforcement
- Cement extending and replacement materials
- High strength composites with brittle matrices
- Sintered materials (ceramics)
- Design and optimization of the structure of materials
- Theoretical considerations and computational methods
- Models of materials and prediction of their properties
- Tests methods and new test results Manufacturing processes

Proceedings will be published in hardback and on CD-ROM and will be available at the Symposium.
