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.
