Concrete in the Service of Mankind Appropriate concrete technology





PREFACE

Concrete is ubiquitous and unique. Indeed, there are no alternatives to concrete as a volume construction material. This raises important questions of how concrete should be designed and constructed for cost effective use in the short and long-term, and yet encourage further radical development. Equally, it must also be environmentally-friendly during manufacture and in its aesthetic presentation in structures.

The Concrete Technology Unit (CTU) of the University of Dundee has organised this major 5 day International Congress, following the conferences, Protection of Concrete in 1990 and Concrete 2000: Economic and Durable Construction Though Excellence in 1993, as part of its continuing commitment to the development of excellence in concrete construction.
