Focus on Performance Prediction

 

Call for Abstracts

Deadline November 28, 2008

 

Submit an Abstract

NRMCA is now accepting abstracts for the 2009 Concrete Technology Forum: Focus on Performance Prediction. To advance performance based concrete construction that supports innovation and sustainable development it is critical to establish reliable ways to predict concrete performance and service life. Join us for the 2009 Concrete Technology Forum: Focus on Performance Prediction, May 14-15, 2009. This symposium and product expo in Cincinnati, OH, will bring researchers and practitioners together to discuss the latest advances, technical knowledge, continuing research, tools and specifications that involve test methods and modeling to predict concrete performance and service life of concrete structures.

Researchers, engineers, contractors, concrete producers, public works officials, material suppliers, and concrete professionals are invited to submit abstracts and attend this symposium to learn and discuss innovative and state of the art developments on testing and modeling.

Abstracts are Encouraged on:

Hardened concrete properties Durability Permeability Strength Stiffness and creep Shrinkage and cracking Abrasion resistance Density Thermal characteristics Chemical resistance Reflectance	Concrete applications Self consolidating concrete Pervious concrete High strength concrete High early strength concrete Green building Fire resistance Blast and seismic resistance Hurricane and tornado resistance Innovative applications Specifications
Plastic concrete properties: Finishability Workability Pumpability Setting time Shrinkage, cracking, and curling Uniformity Early age strength	Performance evaluation: Computer-based simulation Empirical models Service life models Early age testing Non-destructive testing Quality control methods Quality assurance methods Forensic evaluation

The deadline for submitting an abstracts is November 28, 2008. If you have questions regarding the submission of your abstract please contact Lionel Lemay by phone at 847-918-7101 or by e-mail at LLemay@nrmca.org.
