The design of constructive systems with use of concrete has developed
in a time period so extended to show its presence in buildings that
are in the archaeological field as well as in configurations that
emphasize almost exclusively compositional characters.
The material has expressed, technological, chemical, structural
and seismic properties and building yard techniques , which have
yet to be widely tested in a equally critical manner for a reading,
more closely linked to such evolutionary principles, which will
lead, furthermore, to emphasize the value of construction and civil
engineering as well as little-known designers.
Similarly, we must reflect on the possibility of an evolutionary
phase of the constructive system with armed concrete strengthened
by the synergy between engineering technology research and manufacturers,
which should increasingly lead to the creation of items, and highly
innovative conglomerates for projects aimed at the most qualified
design of construction elements and special mixtures for the twentieth
century built patrimony that shows a crisis of durability with repercussions
on scheduled maintenance.
These considerations imply, as well, studies on methods to adopt
depending on the availability of new materials and diagnostic techniques
both for the recovery of buildings and for the restoration, with
particular regard to archaeological sites.
Topics
The congress will be developed in the following sessions:
TECHNOLOGY
History of science and building technology in engineering and civil
construction, Details, connections and interactions with different
materials, Mix-design, and innovative special conglomerates, fire
resistance, construction.
BUILDING PROCESS
Scheduled maintenance, building yard techniques.
THE STRUCTURE
Development of methods and theories of calculation, Seismic behavior,
Construction details in seismic areas.
MATERIALS AND RECOVERY
Technology and applied chemistry, diagnosis, intervention techniques
for conservation, Intervention examples.
MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES IN ARCHAEOLOGY
Evidence of use of conglomerate in history, The material and techniques
for restoration in archaeology, Intervention examples.
Special space will be provided for doctoral students by guaranteeing
at least one presentation per session.
The organization will schedule a discussion-conference day on the
received contributions, with the participation of members of the
scientific committee, open to all participants, to draft the proposal
of the concluding document of the congress.
Important Dates:
- 30th of September Registration
