Description

Concrete is a widely used material for construction of human habitat, civil infrastructure like concrete pavements, bridges and flyovers, power houses, underground structures, dams etc. With the fast growth in economy and urbanisation, there is a vast demand for infrastructure development and construction of high rise structures. Seeing the need for the growth of civil infrastructure, the global R&D efforts in the field of concrete in the last few decades have been focused towards development of new concretes viz self compacting concrete, polymer concrete, fiber reinforced concrete and improving its properties for sustainable development, high performance and high strength. Large number of existing large span bridges and high rise buildings are showing early sign of distress. Distress diagnosis and repair of these structures has been drawing attention of engineers from last few decades. Retrofitting of large number of existing structures has also become necessary due to increased F.A.R. and enhancement of safety requirements due to upgradation of design codes for earthquake and other hazards. Health monitoring of important structures e.g. long span bridges, containment structures has provided new insights into the performance of these structures. In this direction, wireless sensors networks have been introduced for online data acquisition and analysis. There is an increased international trend for evolvement of performance based design. A number of pre-fabricated technologies for construction of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures have been developed in several countries. The aim of the Conference is to discuss and disseminate the knowledge in these fields related to concrete and exchange ideas. Conference THEMES: High performance concrete, high strength concrete and special concrete like polymer concrete, self compacting concrete, alternative reinforcement, fiber reinforced concrete and ferrocement etc. Nano concrete Admixture/coatings for concrete Decorative and Architectural Concrete Distress diagnosis, repair and retrofitting techniques Health monitoring of structures Life assessment prediction of concrete structures Concrete structures under extreme loads Seismic analysis and design of concrete structures Fire behaviour of concrete structures and retrofitting techniques Constructions technologies Bridges & special structures Prefabricated/ precast construction Composite structures Case studies IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER Last date of receipt of Abstract 31st May 2013 Notifications for acceptance of Abstract 31st July 2013 Last date of receipt of Full length papers 31st August 2013 Notifications for acceptance of Full length papers 30th September 2013
