Concrete is a global material that underwrites commercial wellbeing and social development. The pressure for change and improvement of performance is relentless and necessary. Concrete must keep evolving to satisfy the increasing demands of all its users.
Concrete will be the key material for Mankind to create the built environment of the next millennium. The requirements of this infrastructure will be both demanding, in terms of technical performance and economy, and yet be greatly varied, from architectural masterpieces to the simplest of utilities.Radical design and concrete practices forms the Proceedings of the one day International seminar held during the Congress, Creating with concrete, 6-10 September 1999, organised by the Concrete technology unit, University of Dundee.

This volume presents the proceedings of the symposia organized under the umbrella of Celebrating concrete: People and practice, an international meeting organized by the University of Dundee"s Concrete Technology Unit. CONTENTS include: Mechanical Properties for Concrete; Role of Fibers in Ductility and Strength; Durability and Performance; Withstanding Severe Conditions; Specialist Concrete and Construction Techniques; and Exploiting Concrete.
Opportunities for developing sustainable utilisation are becoming increasingly advantageous, and the recovery of maximum value waste materials is a key concern in this process. One of the most effective approaches to value recovery is through the genreation of heat and power from waste incineration are significant, disposal of the ash generated is the main difficulty to justifying this process as a wholly sustainable waste management solution.This is the Proceedings of the major international workshop that took place at the University of Dundee during March 2000.
From popular TV correspondent and writer Rocca comes a charmingly irreverent and rigorously researched book that celebrates the dead people who made life worth living.
Themes outlined in this book include: mechanical properties of concrete; role of fibres in ductility and strength; durability and performance; withstanding severe conditions; specialist concrete and construction techniques; and exploiting concrete.
Substantial quantities of used tyres are being discarded annually throughout the world and this is likely to increase in line with the growth in road traffic. Given the environmental economic implications of this waste, the many regulating bodies world-wide are actively promoting policies aimed at recycling and reuse of the material for recovery as a valuable resource. However, in many parts of the world, recycled tyre technology is still in its infancy.This book presents the proceedings of an International Symposium organised by the Concrete Technology Unit, University of Dundee which brings together some of the worlds leading experts in the field of used tyre recycling.
