UKIERI Concrete Congress

Concrete for 21st Century Construction

BACKGROUND AND AIMS OF THE CONGRESS Internationally renowned for its research excellence, the Concrete Technology Unit of the University of Dundee, UK, together with eight Higher Indian Institutes for Technical Education, is organising this Congress, to be held at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. The Indian Institutions involved are: Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani; Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana; Indian Institute of Technology Delhi; National Institutes of Technology at Jaipur, Jalandhar, Surat and Surathkal and SRM University, Chennai. These institutions are partners in the collaborative research programme carried out in both the UK and India under the UKIERI Scheme (UK-India Education and Research Initiative) funded by the two governments. The group has now been working together for nearly 2 years, dealing with issues relating to sustainability and high performance in concrete infrastructure. The Congress will aim to address new developments in concrete and construction and their role in responding, within the framework of appropriate, innovative and sustainable use of materials, to the rapid growth in the national infrastructure demands in India and elsewhere. This will be a three day Congress, as outlined below: Day 1: Opening Ceremonies Delegates will be welcomed by high level experts in the field of construction, sustainability and science and technology from both India and the UK. Day 2: New Developments in Concrete Construction This one day event will provide an opportunity to hear from global experts who will examine the current developments taking place within the concrete construction industry that are relevant to India and other countries with rapidly growing construction programmes. The topics covered will address the technical challenges being faced by concrete as a material as it strives to adapt to ever increasing demands placed on it by designers and the environments in which it must perform. In addition, the speakers will examine the role which concrete has to play in addressing the need for sustainable, economical infrastructure in the 21st century. Day 3: Concrete for High Performance Sustainable Infrastructure The work presented here is dissemination of the UKIERI collaborative research project undertaken by UK and Indian Higher Education Institutions. The work has focussed on developing innovative cements to enhance performance, resource use and reducing CO2 emissions, utilise local waste materials to address sustainability, develop performance-based specifications to encourage selection of appropriate materials and demonstrate the use of sustainable concrete design opportunities in structures to provide increased confidence in use.

The use of Fly Ash as partial cement replacement was not practiced in India at that time with the exception of limited use of Fly Ash in asbestos sheet production. Consequently DIRK introduced this technology by conducting a row of technical seminars and uncounted site tests to convince the Indian construction fraternity in respect of the benefits of using Fly Ash in concrete. Later on the company build and operated the Maharashtra Fly Ash Information Center providing unbiased information regarding all aspects of beneficial use of PFA. The processing at the DIRK Nashik plant consists of mechanical air classification and grinding of rejects resulting from the mechanical air classification. The resulting product was branded as POZZOCRETE is quality assured and bears the ISIU mark of the Bureau of Indian Standards.
