CONSEC’07 : Fifth International Conference on Concrete under Severe Conditions Environment and Loading
TOURS, France - June 4-6, 2007
Saturday 5 November 2005 , Françoise Bourgain, Hélène Skoutarides, Jean-Olivier Laval




The 5th international Conference on Concrete under Severe Conditions of Environment and Loading (CONSEC’07) will be held in Tours, France, from June 4-6, 2007.

The objective of the CONSEC Conferences is to focus on concrete infrastructures, either subjected to severe environment or severe loading, or any combination of severe conditions.

Experience from the performance of existing concrete structures, and especially under severe environmental conditions, severe accidental loading or extended lifespan, has demonstrated the need for better integration of structural and durability design, new design concepts including reliability-based durability design, performance-based material requirements, and an improved basis for documentation of obtained construction quality and durability properties during concrete construction. An improved basis for operation and preventive maintenance of concrete structures including repairs and retrofitting is also very important.

Premature corrosion of reinforcing steel, inadequate structural design for seismic or blast loading, are examples of reduced service life of concrete structures that not only represent technical and economical problems, but also a huge waste of natural resources and hence also, an environmental and ecological problem. Experience of structures effectively submitted to severe conditions represents a unique benchmark for quantifying the actual safety and durability margin of concrete structures. In fact for several reasons, most concrete design codes, job specifications and other requirements for concrete structures have frequently shown to yield insufficient and unsatisfactory results and ability to solve the above problems, as well as issues raised by specific very long-term or very severe requirements for nuclear and industrial waste management, or civil works of strategic relevance. Recently available high to ultra-high performance concrete may find rational and valuable application in such cases. It is very important, therefore, to bring people with different professional backgrounds together to exchange experience and develop multi-disciplinary ideas in order to improve the current situation.

The previous CONSEC conferences were held in Sapporo, Japan (1995) ; Tromsø, Norway (1998) ; Vancouver, Canada (2001), and Seoul, South Korea (2004). The exchange of information included detailed survey of existing structures, well-designed laboratory tests, case analyses using durability mechanics and refined concrete modeling, presentations of (ultra)-high performance concrete solutions for projects with (ultra)-severe environments, loadings or long lifespan, and proposals for new design concepts and codes. From these conferences which were highly successful events with about 300 participants from up to 37 countries, the peer-reviewed papers have been published in a series of Proceedings with significant archival value.

Call for papers:

One-page abstracts (300 to 400 words) are invited on the following topics :

1. Performance of concrete under severe environment
- Long-term performance of existing structures
- Long-term exposure tests and model validation
- Characterization of severe environments and related performance of concrete structures (climate, corrosion-inducing conditions, chemical and biological attacks, leaching, radioactive exposure)
- Climate changes anticipation applied to requirements for concrete structures

2. Performance of concrete under severe loading
- Seismic resistance of concrete structures High strain-rate performance of concrete structures
- Performance of concrete structures submitted to thermal, blast or impact loadings
- Protective ability of concrete structures against extreme events due to natural, industrial or human hazards Fire performance and fire engineering of concrete structures
- Effects of combined severe loading conditions, abrasion, hydraulic wear, possibly associated with severe environmental conditions

3. New design concepts and methods for long-term performance, robustness with respect to loading hazards and sustainability of concrete structures
- Durability design of new concrete structures Performance-based specifications and requirements for concrete durability
- New design concepts for resistance and robustness vs. accidental loadings
- Durability mechanics and models for the management of ageing concrete structures
- Reliability-based concepts for the design and management of concrete structures
- Concrete structures for sustainable development

4. New and special concrete for (ultra-)severe conditions
- Durability performance of new (ultra-) high performance concrete Performance of new and special concrete vs. fatigue and dynamic loadings

5. Repair and strengthening of under-performing structures
- Efficiency of traditional or innovative repair techniques under severe conditions Performance-based specifications and requirements for repair of concrete buildings

6. Operation and preventive maintenance of existing concrete structure
- Life cycle costing and engineering for concrete structures under sever e conditions

The official language of the conference is English

Venue

The conference will be held in the congress center Le Vinci in the heart of Tours downtown, which is located within easy walking distance of the city’s cathedral and monuments, best shopping, theatres, galleries, and hotel facilities See

Tours, capital city of the « garden of France », is located in the heart of the Loire Valley, recognized by UNESCO as World cultural Heritage.
Tours is connected by high speed railway (call it in French « TGV ») to Paris-Montparnasse railway station in downtown (55 mn) and Paris International Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle Airport (1 h 35).
The city has been growing around St Martin’s thumb and kept plenty of middle-aged and Renaissance picturesque houses and monuments. Successive times left to Tours modern testimonies, while keeping a unique typical secret of French taste and harmony.
Around Tours, you will enjoy the Loire Valley, its famous vineyards, wild river scenes and kings’ castles. The weather in Tours is generally pleasant, sunny (227 h/month) and mild in June with average temperatures between 12 and 22°C. See

Registration fee

The conference registration fee including attendance and proceedings, lunch, banquet dinner, reception and coffee breaks, should be approximately:
- Before March 1, 2007 : 750 € TTC
- After March 1, 2007 : 850 € TTC
- Special rate for students : 350 € TTC (for students validly registered before Ph. D.- covers registration received before March 1, 2007, lunches, proceedings, no banquet)

Exhibition

A products and services exhibit will be open during the conference. If you are interested in having a display booth, please contact the conference Secretariat.

Social program

Social and cultural activities in Tours and around will be proposed during the sessions for accompanying persons, including a possible one-day trip to Paris upon demand.

A one-day post-conference tour will be organized including a visit to technically significant sites and if possible one major cultural spot of the Châteaux de la Loire and possibly a typical Loire Valley winery.
