The 28th Biennial National Conference of the Concrete Institute of Australia in conjunction, with the 3rd International Congress on Durability of Concrete (ICDC) Technical Committee, invites the submission of abstracts for original work for “CONCRETE 2017” to be held October 22-25, 2017 at the Adelaide Convention Center in Adelaide, South Australia. The broad theme of the conference is “Advances in Concrete Materials and Structures”— bringing together global leaders in the concrete industry, covering all aspects of concrete design improvements, research, construction, maintenance and repair of concrete projects.
Abstracts will be considered for oral or poster presentations in the Concrete 2017 Program. Abstract DEADLINE is October 14, 2016.
Concrete 2017 Program Themes:
• Materials (cementitious materials, aggregates, chemical admixtures, recycled materials, geopolymers, reinforcing steels …)
• Structures (shear design, design of columns and walls, concrete modelling, earthquake and seismic design, prestress …)
• Innovations in concrete – design and construction (3D printing)
• Durability
• Repair and Retrofit
• Environmental
• Precast concrete (design, construction, architectural …)
• Case studies and major projects
• Constructability (construction and infrastructure developments, forensics, formwork …)
• Education
• History and development of concrete
• Any interesting application and use advancing concrete materials and structures
The conference will be of specific interest to those within the building and construction industries and most pertinent to:
Civil and Structural Engineers
Concrete Product Manufacturers
Reinforcement Suppliers
Civil and Building Contractors
Prestressing Companies
Developers
Academics/Researchers/Educators
Government Departments covering Transport, Roads, Railways and Public Works
Local Government Shires and Councils
