From July 10th through July 13th, 1994, an informal workshop
co-organized by RILEM committees 116-PCD and 123-MME was held at
Saint-Remy-Ies Chevreuse, France, and attended by 38 delegates from
16 countries. Twenty-nine papers were presented, converging the
general subjects of modelling micro structures and predicting
durability of concrete and other cement-based materials. A short
summary follows: G. M. Idom's paper entitled "Modelling Research
for Concrete Engineering" serves as an introduction to the
workshop, presenting an overview of modelling research with the
conelusion that the broad practica1 objective is to produce
high-quality concrete. This means that many characteristics,
ranging from rheology to alkali-silica reaction, must be modelled.
In other words, the system must be understood. Idom's paper sets
the stage for papers in two general areas: 1) models and 2)
transport properties. After this, abrief survey of the develop ment
of microstructurally-based models is presented. A elose
relationship between computer power and speed is suggested. The
first group of papers on models covers the subjects of scale and
resolution. Most models define and predict characteristics of the
pore system, which range in scale from nanometer to millimeter.
Various types ofnetworks are proposed in these papers. A good
microstructural model must describe the pores and other phases at
ascale appropriate to the properties that the model predicts. Also,
a good model should be based on fundamental knowledge. In the case
of cement-based materials, the important properties may depend on
the microstructure, especially the porosity, at several scales."
