Expansive Reactions in Cement-Based Materials workshop, July 27-29, 2011

The goal of this workshop is to stimulate discussions related to expansive behavior in cement‐based materials.

While much is understood about the outward manifestations of expansive reactions, still questions remain about why many of these reactions result in expansion and    damage to concrete materials. The format of the workshop will be five sessions where three relatively brief technical talks related to the theme will present new theories, explanations, observations and controversial findings to foster discussion among participants. Speakers are encouraged to keep their talks brief, yet engaging. At the end of the technical talks approximately 30‐45 minutes will be devoted to discussion. A poster session will allow participants to showcase latest research results and findings which will further enhance the interactive nature of this workshop.
