Precon

Concrete industry is a significant contributor to global CO2 emission. This creates a pressing need for the researchers in the academia and industry to re-route the manufacturing of cement and concrete onto the sustainable path. Pre-cast technologies for the preparation of cementitious materials have a major role to play in reducing the environmental impact of concrete. The factory conditions allow more eco-efficient mix designs, use of more innovative materials and manufacturing techniques, .. continue reading and fabrication of elements to better tolerances reducing waste and overdesign. At the same time, the hydration kinetics and microstructure of cementitious materials are altered under the accelerated curing conditions, which affects the durability and mechanical performances. The First International Conference on Precast Concrete is dedicated to the science of pre-cast technologies and aims to provide a platform for academic scholars and industrial practioners to show their research on the following topics.
