Eco-Crete 2014: Int. Symp. on sustainability _ Environmentally friendly concrete
On behalf of the organizing committee we invite you to the
International Symposium on Sustainability; Environmentally Friendly Concrete.
The development of Environmentally Friendly Concrete has been substantial during the last decade, as the building industry has welcomed the challenge facing the industry. New types of concrete are appearing on the market, developed using modern rheo logy with different compositions of materials. This can have positive effect on the environment.
The Kyoto protocol and its coming successor might greatly influence the type and quality of cement in nearest future, in particular regarding the sustainability of concrete that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Concrete is by far the most manmade material with an annual
production of about 25 billion tons and therefore has a big impact on the environment, even though its carbon footprint is relatively very low compare to some plastics or metals. In the future to come, there will be increased demand of documenting or calculating the carbon footprint for concrete and other cementitious products.
THEMES:
The symposium welcomes papers on research and development
issues. Papers referring to experience from application are especially encouraged. Central themes are:
- Sustainability
- Carbon footprint evaluation
- Cement production
- Mix design of concrete
- Production technology
- Environmentally Friendly Concrete (EcoCrete®)
- Life Cycle Analysis
- Application and case study
- Effect of various admixture
- Cement admixture interaction
- Supplementary cementitious materials
- High Performance Concrete
- Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)
- Microstructure
- Partical packing
- Fillers
KEY DATES:
31st of May, 2014: Final date of submission of abstracts.
15th of June, 2014: Submission of final papers.
1st of May, 2014: Last day of early registration.
Note that early registration has changed to 1st of May instead of 1st of March. Participants that registered after 1st of March will be refunded accordingly.
23rd of June, 2014: Final date of submission of NRS abstracts.
30th of June, 2014: Submission of final NRS papers.
