Through the years, concrete construction concepts and technology have changed in response to new and recurring challenges facing the industry. Performance, durability, restoration, maintenance, repair, innovation, and research continue to be important topics for those involved in the construction industry.

It is my pleasure to invite you all to participate in the 9th International Concrete Conference and Exhibition. The conference will be a continuation of the successful

Dr. Jameel Al Alawi Conference Chairman

Chairman’s Message

IntroductionMajor international manufacturers are expressing confidence in the Middle East

construction market and are actively pursuing expansion plans as the industry

shakes off the adverse impact of the economic downturn and moves ahead on

the road to recovery. This confidence is reflected in the strong interest various

stakeholders from Asia, Europe and the Middle East are showing in participating in

the 9th International Conference on Concrete in Hot and Aggressive Environments

being organised by the Bahrain Society of Engineers (BSE) in association with

American Concrete Institute – Saudi Arabian & Bahrain Chapters and the Concrete

Society (UK) from 11-13 February, 2013 at Gulf Hotel in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The conference provides a welcome opportunity for engineers, architects,

contractors, professionals, researchers and students to meet, examine current

concerns, address local and industry-wide problems, exchange experiences and

network to secure expansion plans and strategies for the future.

This will be done through seminars, workshops as well as keynote addresses and

technical papers presented by specialists and experts on the latest developments

in sustainable design, manufacturing, construction, maintenance and other

industry related matters.

The exchange of technical knowledge and information about concrete and its

performance in hot and aggressive environments around the world is especially

important for the Gulf region, which experiences extremely harsh and difficult

environmental conditions that include exceptionally hot and dry environments as

well as hot, humid and salty marine environments.

These adverse climatic conditions impact on the durability and performance of

concrete and it is important to find effective and innovative solutions for both new

projects as well as maintenance of existing structures. The deliberations of the

conference should provide useful information and insights that will assist engineers

and contractors in achieving high-quality, durable concrete to withstand these

aggressive environments.

forums that have been held bi-annually since 1985. This edition will also bring together engineers, designers, researchers and scientists from around the world to promote better understanding of matters of common interests to all stakeholders, ranging from the most recent research to the latest applications of high-strength and high performance concrete for construction.

The conference is an opportunity to discuss new technical applications and share research results and experiences related to high-strength and high-performance concrete. The symposium is supported by leading world organisations, such as American Concrete Institute – Saudi Arabian & Bahrain Chapters and the Concrete Society (UK).

For us this is a unique opportunity to meet with leading experts from around the world in the field of high performance concrete and to learn first-hand where concrete technology is heading. The conference will host workshops and seminars and also present the opportunity to share technical and research papers as well as case studies on topics of interest. These will include Concrete in a Sustainable World; Durability, Deterioration and Repair of Concrete Structures; Advances in Materials and Processes for Green Buildings; Design and Construction; Research and Development; etc.

I take this opportunity to extend my invitation to all stake holders in the real estate and the construction industry – investors, developers, clients and the public – to participate in this convention and make a significant contribution in charting the course of the industry for the future, both regionally and globally.

Title: Concrete Durability and high Performance ConcreteDate: 9th & 10th february, 2013 fees: BD 300 uS$530 Instructor: Prof. olafur Wallevick

The course covers the durability and lifetime design issues that can affect reinforced concrete. Special emphasis will be placed on the mix-design aspects of High Performance Concrete and robust production. The causes of deterioration will be a central part of the course. Transport mechanisms and permeability will be revised as they are key parameters for durability, in particular chloride permeability. The role of pozzolans (SCM) and chemical admixtures in achieving more durable and sustainable concrete will be discussed. Volume stability will be a focal subject, in particular shrinkage and means to reduce it. Issues like Live Cycle Assessment (LCA) will be discussed as durability plays such a big role is the evaluation, as durability is also “the ability of a building or any of its components to perform its required function over an intended period of time.” Finally Eco-friendly or green concrete (like Eco-SCC) will be evaluated.

1988 to become one of the latest and largest

The Museum consists of several exhibition halls

covering the history of Bahrain from the Stone

pre-oil period.

A Heritage village has been developed outside

festivals.

the mosque has space for 7,000 worshippers.
