Workshop on Recent Developments in Concrete Technology, 4th January 2014

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

                           Today, concrete has virtually dominated the field of construction and the technology. The material has adapted itself continuously to the changing necessities of the construction industry, satisfying the numerous demands of engineers. Various analytical techniques are applied to study the effect of these parameters for quality control purposes. The workshop aims at providing a forum for field engineers, faculty, UG/PG students of various Institutes, and researchers for upgrading their knowledge on recent advances in the field of concrete technology. The workshop is designed in such a way that it will enlighten the participants with both theoretical and practical aspects of concrete technology.

OBJECTIVES:

·         To expose the recent advancements in concrete technology such as high performance concrete, self compacting concrete, use of waste materials in concrete, chemical and mineral admixtures.

·         To discuss the advances in concrete making materials and concrete mix design.

·         To create awareness and distribute knowledge related to durability design of concrete structures.

·         To motivate young researchers and faculty members in the field of concrete technology.
