High Tech Concrete: Where Technology and Engineering Meet: Proceedings of the 2017 fib Symposium, held in Maastricht, The Netherlands, June 12–14, 2017

The proceedings contain 325 papers. The topics discussed include: transfer of innovative research results into the German cement industry; from laboratory into practice - German approach for accelerating the transfer of innovative materials in civil engineering; an experimental study of autogenous and drying shrinkage; comparative study on the drying shrinkage and mechanical properties of geopolymer foam concrete incorporating different dosages of fiber, sand and foam agents; finite element implementation of a drying shrinkage model based on pore evaporation mechanics; numerical analysis of long term effects on eigenstresses and micro-cracking in concrete; mechanical properties of concrete with blast furnace slag fine aggregates subjected to freeze-thaw cycles; chloride ingress of carbonated blast furnace slag cement mortars; detecting the presence of chloride in hardened mortar using microwave non-destructive testing; effect of curing regime and controlled permeability formwork on early chloride penetration into fly ash concrete; effect of the cement composition on the temperature and strength rising at early age; concrete with flash-calcined dredging sediments as a novel supplementary cementitious material; experimental investigation on thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of a novel aerogel concrete; and cellular sprayed concrete: a very-simple and economic method for remixing an OPC into HPC at a field.
