The workshop “Innovative Sustainable Concrete Pavements!” will be held March 23, 2017 from 9:30 to 16:30 CST, at Boulevard du Souverain 68, Watermael-Boitsfort, Brussels, Belgium. Come learn more about ECLIPS (Enhancing Concrete Life in Infrastructure through Phase Change Systems).
ECLIPS is a multi-national project carried out by Arizona State University (ASU) and University of California Los Angeles, US (UCLA), Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science (Empa) in Switzerland, Technical University-Delft in Netherlands (TU-Delft), and TECNALIA in Spain, funded through the Infravation grant of the European Union (EU).
European Concrete Paving Association (EUPAVE) and American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) are in charge of the dissemination of the ECLIPS project and main outcomes.
ECLIPS is working on the incorporation of phase change materials with a suitable phase transition temperature, enthalpy of phase change and degree of dispersion in the concrete.
