FERRO 11 and 3rd ICTRC - 11th International Symposium on Ferrocement

Ferrocement and textile reinforced concrete deal with similar items. Therefore the proposal for the conference is to combine Ferro11 and 3rd ICTRC in 2015. The institute of building materials research of RWTH Aachen University (ibac) is one of the most important research institutes in Germany. Young as well as experienced scientists and industry investigators will come together and discuss new developments during the Ferrocement Symposium and the 3rd ICTRC. Latest development concerning ferrocement will be discussed and specialists will share their knowledge and experiences with the participants. The 3rd International Conference of Textile Reinforced Concrete will be held after Ferro 11. All aspects of textile reinforced concrete – from the filament properties, its bond to the matrix, new developments concerning the yarns, innovative textiles, further developments of the matrices including short fibre concretes, mechanical properties of the composite material, the load bearing behaviour of the element and the applications up to the micro-/macro-mechanical modelling – shall be presented and discussed during that conference. Apart from the basics, mainly examples of applications shall illustrate the potentials of ferrocement / textile reinforced concrete this building material. According to the questions, many disciplines of engineering sciences but also of architecture will be addressed.

Social events during the conference will be organized like a conference dinner in the ballroom of the old cure house on Monday. Besides there will be a various programme for participants and accompaniments like trips e.g. to Cologne, Maastricht etc. The program also depends on what events are being offered at this time in Aachen and surroundings.
