Concrete is ubiquitous and unique, found in every developed and developing country. Indeed, there are no alternatives to concrete as a volume construction material for infrastructure. This raises important questions of how concrete should be designed and constructed for cost effective use in the short and long term, and to encourage further radical development. Equally, it must be environmentally friendly during manufacture, in an aesthetic presentation in structures and in the containment of harmful materials.
This is the central theme of the Concrete in the Service of Mankind, under which five self-contained conferences, each dealing with a particular aspect, took place. This major publication continues the tradition established by Dundee University of organising major international conferences every three years dealing with some aspect of concrete.
