High Performance Concrete Date : 9th & 10th February, 2013

Chairmans Message Introduction

Through the years, concrete construction concepts and technology have changed in response to new and recurring challenges facing the industry. Performance, durability, restoration, maintenance, repair, innovation, and research continue to be important topics for those involved in the construction industry. It is my pleasure to invite you all to participate in the 9th International Concrete Conference and Exhibition. The conference will be a continuation of the successful forums that have been held bi-annually since 1985. This edition will also bring together engineers, designers, researchers and scientists from around the world to promote better understanding of matters of common interests to all stakeholders, ranging from the most recent research to the latest applications of high-strength and high performance concrete for construction. The conference is an opportunity to discuss new technical applications and share research results and experiences related to high-strength and high-performance concrete. The symposium is supported by leading world organisations, such as American Concrete Institute Saudi Arabian & Bahrain Chapters and the Concrete Society (UK). For us this is a unique opportunity to meet with leading experts from around the world in the field of high performance concrete and to learn first-hand where concrete technology is heading. The conference will host workshops and seminars and also present the opportunity to share technical and research papers as well as case studies on topics of interest. These will include Concrete in a Sustainable World; Durability, Deterioration and Repair of Concrete Structures; Advances in Materials and Processes for Green Buildings; Design and Construction; Research and Development; etc. I take this opportunity to extend my invitation to all stake holders in the real estate and the construction industry investors, developers, clients and the public to participate in this convention and make a significant contribution in charting the course of the industry for the future, both regionally and globally.
Major international manufacturers are expressing confidence in the Middle East construction market and are actively pursuing expansion plans as the industry shakes off the adverse impact of the economic downturn and moves ahead on the road to recovery. This confidence is reflected in the strong interest various stakeholders from Asia, Europe and the Middle East are showing in participating in the 9th International Conference on Concrete in Hot and Aggressive Environments being organised by the Bahrain Society of Engineers (BSE) in association with American Concrete Institute Saudi Arabian & Bahrain Chapters and the Concrete Society (UK) from 11-13 February, 2013 at Gulf Hotel in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The conference provides a welcome opportunity for engineers, architects, contractors, professionals, researchers and students to meet, examine current concerns, address local and industry-wide problems, exchange experiences and network to secure expansion plans and strategies for the future. This will be done through seminars, workshops as well as keynote addresses and technical papers presented by specialists and experts on the latest developments in sustainable design, manufacturing, construction, maintenance and other industry related matters. The exchange of technical knowledge and information about concrete and its performance in hot and aggressive environments around the world is especially important for the Gulf region, which experiences extremely harsh and difficult environmental conditions that include exceptionally hot and dry environments as well as hot, humid and salty marine environments. These adverse climatic conditions impact on the durability and performance of concrete and it is important to find effective and innovative solutions for both new projects as well as maintenance of existing structures. The deliberations of the conference should provide useful information and insights that will assist engineers and contractors in achieving high-quality, durable concrete to withstand these aggressive environments.

Pre-Conference Workshop
Title: Concrete Durability and high Performance Concrete Date: 9th & 10th february, 2013 fees: BD 300 uS$530 Instructor: Prof. olafur Wallevick
The course covers the durability and lifetime design issues that can affect reinforced concrete. Special emphasis will be placed on the mix-design aspects of High Performance Concrete and robust production. The causes of deterioration will be a central part of the course. Transport mechanisms and permeability will be revised as they are key parameters for durability, in particular chloride permeability. The role of pozzolans (SCM) and chemical admixtures in achieving more durable and sustainable concrete will be discussed. Volume stability will be a focal subject, in particular shrinkage and means to reduce it. Issues like Live Cycle Assessment (LCA) will be discussed as durability plays such a big role is the evaluation, as durability is also the ability of a building or any of its components to perform its required function over an intended period of time. Finally Eco-friendly or green concrete (like Eco-SCC) will be evaluated.
8

The course will include: The basics of concrete The basics of cement chemistry Durability of concrete Why is concrete so different in various countries (what can we learn from others)? Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) Causes of deterioration Mechanisms of concrete cracking Transport processes of fluids and ions into concrete Chloride permeability, carbonation Alkali-aggregate reaction Sulphate attack Delayed ettringite formation Thaumasite formation Shrinkage and creep Wearing resistance Repair strategies and techniques The art of making very HPC Why Ultra High Performance Concrete? Mix-design of durable concrete
