3RD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON “DURABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES”
September 16-18
University of Naples Federico II, Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture
Organized by:
American Concrete Institute Italy Chapter (ACI IC) and University of Naples Federico II (UniNa)
ACI Sponsoring Committee:
ACI 130 – Sustainability of Concrete, ACI 201 – Durability of Concrete, ACI 243- Seawater Concrete
Objectives and themes:
This is the third edition of International Workshop on “Durability and Sustainability of Concrete Structures”, after the successful past editions of Moscow 2018 and Bologna 2015. The purpose of this international workshop is to present and discuss the most innovative developments and research on durability and sustainability of concrete construction. Among the topics to be addressed are: reduction in CO2 emissions; use of binders alternative to Portland cement, superplasticizers for low-content clinker cements, recycled materials and innovative products; design of durable structures, maintenance, repair and refurbishment of concrete structures. The topics will be tackled from all perspectives, from material science to testing, from environmental impact evaluation to design under severe conditions and will include maintenance, monitoring, repair and reuse of concrete structures.
Topics of the conference (will include but are not limited to):
- Reduction in Green House Gases in Cement and Concrete Industry
- Recycled Materials and Waste Management in Mortar and Concrete Production
- Solfoaluminate based cement alternative to portland and portland blended cements
- Alkali-activated materials and geopolymers for sustainable construction
- Superplasticizers and special admixture for low-content clinker cement
- Non-Metallic/Hybrid reinforcement for concrete members
- Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures
- Durability of Ultra High Performance Concrete
- Life Cycle Cost Assessment in Concrete Construction
- Reuse and Functional Resilience of Reinforced Concrete Structures
- Repair and Maintenance
- Testing, Inspection and Monitoring
- Case Histories
Workshop Proceedings and Scopus Indexed ACI-SP:
The papers will be peer-reviewed before publication in the Workshop Proceedings, which will be collected in an ACI Special Publication. In order to have the paper included in the ACI SP at least one registration fee should be paid.
