WELCOME

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Scientific committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the second International Conference on Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete.

The ambition of this conference is to bring together academic and industrial resear-chers with shared interests in blended cements with alternative Supplementary Ce-mentitious Materials to develop sustainable concrete and to present a snapshot of the intense work carried out by different research groups since the 1st conference in 2015.

The conference programme is rather dense, offering a considerable variety of topics covered. The main part of the programme consists of 8 Keynote Plenary Lectures, and there will be 80 Regular Presentations. In addition, these will also be twelve 5minute Poster Presentations combined with the display of posters taking place during the whole of the conference.

We are grateful to our sponsors for their interest and support for this conference.

I would like to extend our thanks to all Conference participants, our student helpers and the team of the LC3 project in Cuba and EPFL who are responsible for all aspects of the technical organisation, programme, etc.I would already like to invite you to the third conference to be held in 2019 in India.

We hope you will enjoy the conference!

Kind regardsProf. Fernando Martirena

is a producer of complete calcinations lines, including the clay preparation, the rotary kilns, cooling systems, sieving and classification systems. Ipiac Nery develops its own technologycal processes and manufactures its own equipments. The technological processes in the calcination of clay, making from them an additive that can substitute about 30% of clinker in the manufacture of the traditional Portland cement. This is one of the areas of interest to the cement industry and concrete producers. IPIAC-NERY can, in a convicted way, afirm that the production of calcined clay, is just the result of a high level know-how in this segment, which also marks the leadership.

Industrial Solutions for the cement industry

polysius® calcination technology.Based on our well-proven gas suspension pre-heater and flash calciner, a ground-breaking process design for production of calcined clays has been developed. Natural clays can be somewhat different – for all of them, the flash calcination process makes the most out of it. The enhanced calcination process delivers a high reactivity, reliable concrete workability and a pure gray color. The calcination plant is consequently designed to process alternative fuels, as well as alternative raw materials – symbolizing our clear commitment towards sustainability. www.thyssenkrupp-industrial-solutions.com

Visit to exposure sites under natural environmental conditions

Date: December 8th, departing from Habana; December 9th return to HabanaCost: approx. 200CUC (registration at the welcome desk)

CIDEM has prepared three exposure sites resembling the exposure classes considered by the Cuban standard NC 120:2014 for concrete.

The sites are the following:1/ Site Punta Matamoros: located directly on the seashore, it represents the conditions for concrete exposed at a distance of 500 m or less from the seashore.2/ Site Sede Universitaria: Located at approximately 2500 m from the seashore, with a relatively lower Relative Humidity and a high content of air borne chlorides.3/ Site CIDEM: located close to CIDEM’s facilities, at more than 20 km from the seashore, with a much lower relative Humidity and less air borne chlorides.
