Concrete is a global material that underwrites commercial wellbeing and social development. There is no substitute that can be used on the same engineering scale and its sustainability, expolitation and further development are imperatives to creating and maintaing a healthy economy and environment worldwide. 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.

This volume presents the proceedings of the symposia organised under the umbrella of Celebrating Concrete: People and Practice, an international meeting organised by the University of Dundees Concrete Technology Unit.
Themes covered include: modern cement manufacture; hydration of Portland cement; supplementary cementing materials, activators and inhibitors; performance of Portland cement concrete in the environment; special and non-Portland cements; and exploiting science.
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.Controlling concrete degradation 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.
Forms the proceedings of the congress 'Global Construction: Ultimate Concrete Opportunities' organized by Concrete Technology Unit (CTU) of the University of Dundee. This book deals with issues such as materials, properties and production characteristics, specification for foamed concrete, applications and case studies.
Themes covered include: innovative concrete bridges; design and construction; loading considerations; aesthetics of concrete bridges; whole life cycle economics for sustainability; and exploiting design.
