SUMMARY:2nd International RILEM conference on early-age and long-term cracking in RC structures - CRC2025
DESCRIPTION:11–12 September 2025\, Katowice\, Poland\nCET–Central European Time\n  \nEven though reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the most used manmade materials in the world\, and adequate models exist for the prediction and design of the ultimate capacity of RC structures\, the prediction of service life behaviour is still not mature enough for actual design purposes. This may lead to immediate repair needs\, inadequate service life behaviour even when regulatory prescriptions for design are strictly followed\, or at other times to unnecessary overdesign of reinforcement\, which has negative consequences on both sustainability and economic aspects. This is amplified by development of new more sustainable cements and supplementary materials since the range of material properties needed for SLS-design is considerably wider than for ULS design.  \nMORE INFORMATION HERE

SUMMARY:ECSN webinar: Concrete and sustainability – an update on ongoing efforts in Europe – Part 2
DESCRIPTION: \nECSN is a network of European concrete societies comprising of 15 members. In this webinar\, we have brought together experts from within ECSN circles to present examples from various European countries on how the concrete construction sector can reduce its impact on the climate. This is the third webinar that ECSN has organised in the field of sustainable concrete. The first webinar was arranged on 25 November 2021 on the topic ”Concrete and sustainability – an update on ongoing efforts in Europe” and the second was arranged on 29 March 2023 on the topic “Binders and concrete for the next decade”. \nThe cement and concrete industry contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions. Concrete research on sustainability involves exploring various aspects of sustainability and finding practical solutions to address environmental\, social and economic challenges. In this webinar focus will be both on the design aspects as well as materials. In some countries there is already a change in legislation\, and it is important to design in a more optimal way where CO2 emission will be an important side condition which includes changing strength\, using prestressed concrete\, alternative cement based materials\, recycling and new production techniques. Examples of all these efforts will be presented and discussed in this webinar. \nWelcome!\nECSN – European Concrete Societies Network \nWebinar: Concrete and sustainability – an update on ongoing efforts in Europe – Part 2\nTime: 28 February 2024\, 11.00 – 16:30 (CET) \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is needed for participation. \n  \nProgram\n\n\n\n11:00\nIntroduction: European Concrete Societies Network\nRichard McCarthy\, Chairman\n\n\n11:10\nThe Globe Consensus – a Global Initiative for Decarbonization of the Construction Sector\nMichael Havbro Faber\, Aalborg University (Denmark) and Harbin Institute of Technology (China)\n\n\n11:40\nHow standards can support sustainability of cement and concrete\nChristoph Müller\, Managing Director\, VDZ Technology (Germany)\n\n\n12:00\nFuture and emerging Supplementary Cementing Materials (SCMs)\nProfessor Ruben Snellings\, KU Leuven (Belgium)\n\n\n12:20\nA natural sedimentary pozzolan for future green cements in Northern Europe\nUrs Müller\, Technical Manager\, Schwenk Sweden (Latvia)\n\n\n12:40\nBreak\n\n\n13:10\nClimate-driven Structural Design in Early Design Phases – Concrete bridges\nRasmus Rempling\, Associate Professor\, Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden)\n\n\n13:30\nPartnership for sustainability goal 17: The Alo building – a case study\nBjørnar Hamstad\, Head of Construction Section\, Multiconsult (Norway)\n\n\n13:50\nReturned readymixed concrete\, washing equipment and recycling\nLauri Labe\, Quality Manager\, Betoonimeister AS (Estonia)\n\n\n14:10\nElectromobility in the concrete industry\nKai Westphal\, Manager of concrete production and distribution\, Steypustöðin RMC-producer (Iceland)\n\n\n14:30\nBreak\n\n\n14:40\n(P)RECAST – reuse of precast concrete elements\nKatja Udbye Christensen\, Business Manager\, Danish Technological Institute (Denmark)\n\n\n15:00\nReusing prefabricated concrete for a circular economy\nProfessor Satu Huuhka (Finland)\n\n\n15:20\nRecycled aggregates\, green product\,  green opportunities\nWalter Speelman\, Manager Technology & Sustainability Beton\, Heidelberg Materials (The Netherlands)\n\n\n15:40\nMeasuring the Life Cycle GHG Emissions of High Performance Concretes\nDr William Wilson\, Sustainability Manager\, Ireland Materials\, Roadstone (Ireland)\n\n\n16:00\nUK Concrete Sustainable Construction Strategic Priorities\nDr Noushin Khosravi\, Sustainable Construction Manager\, UK Concrete\, MPA (UK)\n\n\n\n16:20\nSummary and general discussions\n\n\n16:30\nClosing\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:ECSN webinar: Binders and concrete for the next decade
DESCRIPTION:Join ECSN on the journey to more sustainable construction!\nNew webinar: Binders and concrete for the next decade\nThis is the second webinar that ECSN has organised in the field of sustainable concrete. The first webinar was arranged on 25 November 2021 on the topic ”Concrete and sustainability – an update on ongoing efforts in Europe”. \nIt is well known that the cement and concrete industry contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions. But at the same time\, this industry is now making a huge effort to solve these challenges. Solutions are now being developed using Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) or Carbon Capture\, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS)\, or a combination of both. Other solutions are to develop new composite cements where the clinker is replaced partly with new supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Potential approaches are also to re-carbonate old binders to enable them to function as new SCMs. Examples of all these efforts will be presented and discussed in this webinar. \nWelcome to the webinar and be a part of the future!\nProgram and registration »

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Concrete and sustainability – an update on ongoing efforts in Europe
DESCRIPTION: \nVideo source: Shutterstock.com\nJoin ECSN on the journey to more sustainable construction!\nECSN is the federation/network of European concrete societies comprising of 13 members. In this webinar\, we have brought together experts from within ECSN circles to present examples of how the concrete construction sector can reduce its impact on the climate.\nThe earth faces great challenges. The UN Sustainable Development Goals set out a blueprint for achieving a more sustainable future for all of society\, with Goal 13 requiring urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. The 2015 Paris Agreement further stipulates that the global temperature increase will be limited to below 2°C\, with the aim of limiting it to 1.5°C. This is to be achieved primarily through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. \nAn increasing global population requires societal development with necessary associated housing and infrastructure. Yet\, climate change action also requires that all of society works to reduce their impact on the climate. In many areas\, concrete is the only building material that can meet long term quality and durability requirements. Therefore\, concrete continues to be an essential material for building sustainably\, and for creating the welfare demanded by today’s modern society. \nThe purpose of this webinar is to demonstrate the potential of the concrete sector to do more to reduce its impact. For example\, continuing research across the globe has resulted in real progress being made in developing binders with a lower impact on the climate. Work is also being progressed which aims to build more optimised and slender construction elements. Additionally\, a review of overly stringent regulations may also be required to allow for reductions in cement contents in certain construction sectors. \nIn parallel with all of this\, the development of Carbon Capture\, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is taking place. With Norway having more than 20 years’ experience of the geological storage of carbon dioxide\, it is known that CCUS is technically possible. However\, many challenges remain in its full development at scale. Other examples of the use of CCUS technology include new developments in the manufacture of concrete building blocks. \nOur future requires that many solutions are needed; therefore\, the whole of society must cooperate in meeting these challenges. \nWelcome! \nECSN – European Concrete Societies Network \nWebinar: Concrete and sustainability – an update on ongoing efforts in Europe.\nTime: 25th of November\, 12.30 – 16:40 (CET)\nFee: The webinar is free\, but registration is needed for participation. \nThe last day to register is November\, 24td. \n  \nProgram\nModerators: Børge Johannes Wigum – Chairman of Icelandic Concrete Association & Cecilie Hagby – Managing Director of Norwegian Concrete Association. \n\n\n\n\n12:30\nIntroduction: European Concrete Societies Network & Sustainability challenges for the concrete industry in Europe\nRichard McCarthy\, Chairman ECSN & Managing Director of the Swedish Concrete Association (Sweden)\n\n\n12:45\nA general overview on decarbonisation and resource efficiency in concrete construction\nLars Meyer\, Managing Director of the German Society for Concrete and Construction Technology (Germany)\n\n\n13:05\nThe path to circular economy in the cement and concrete industry\nBrian Gilmore\, Sustainability Manager\, Cement Manufacturers Ireland (Ireland)\n\n\n13:25\nCircular solutions within the concrete industry to reach climate ambitions\nSigríður Ósk Bjarnadóttir\, University of Iceland (Iceland)\n\n\n13:45\nRoadmap for climate neutral concrete in Sweden\nMalin Löfsjögård\, Managing Director of the Swedish Concrete Federation (Sweden)\n\n\n14:05\nBreak\n\n\n14:15\nNovel approaches used and future ideas of sustainability in Austria\nKonrad Bergmeister\, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences\, Vienna (Austria)\n\n\n14:35\nNeoCem project – Fitness for use of new Belgian composite cements\nFilip Van Rickstal\, Managing Directorof the Belgian Cement Research Centre (Belgium)\n\n\n14:55\nDevelopment of low carbon classification for concretes\nJouni Punkki\, Concrete Technology\, Aalto University (Finland)\n\n\n15:15\nHow a classification system has lowered the carbon footprint for concrete in Norway\nSverre Smeplass\, Chief Advisor Skanska (Norway)\n\n\n15:35\nBreak\n\n\n15:45\nSustainable concrete structures – implementation of principles in a new fib Model Code 2020\nPetr Hájek\, Department of Architectural Engineering\, Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic)\n\n\n16:05\nThe UK concrete and cement industry road map to beyond net zero – an overview and update on progress of related initiatives\nElaine Toogood\, Head of Architecture\, MPA\, The Concrete Centre (UK)\n\n\n16:25\nSummary and general discussions\n\n\n16:40\nEnd of webinar
