The concrete industry has embraced innovation and ensured high
levels of long-term performance and sustainability through creative
applications in design and construction. As a construction
material, the versatility of concrete and its intrinsic benefits
mean it is still well placed to meet challenges of the construction
industry. Indeed, concrete has kept evolving to satisfy ever more
stringent, as well as demanding design requirements and calls to
improve the performance. This has been achieved through the
introduction of new constituent materials, technologies and
construction methods.
The current challenges faced by concrete construction may not
necessarily be the same as those in the future. However, an ongoing
programme of innovation and product development means that concrete
should continue to provide cost effective sustainable solutions
that are able to turn a challenge into an opportunity.
This book is a collection of papers presented at the
International Conference on Excellence in Concrete Construction
through Innovation (Kingston-upon-Thames, UK, 9 10 September 2008).
Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation deals with
recent innovation in concrete science, technology and practice, and
discusses challenges from new materials, technologies,
environmental concerns and economic factors in maintaining concrete
construction excellence. The book will be of interest to engineers,
designers, researchers and scientists.
