The 2021 Concrete Institute of Australia's Biennial National Conference will held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre in Western Australia from 5-8 September 2021.

The Technical Committee for Concrete 2021 is now welcoming abstract submissions.

If you are involved in concrete research, technology, innovation, design, construction and materials, we urge you to submit an abstract for presentation consideration.

View the abstract submission instructions here.

The theme for Concrete 2021 is "Smart & Innovative Concrete from Disruption" and topics to consider for abstracts are:

·       Alkali-activated and Geopolymer Concretes

·       Asset Management – inspection, monitoring, remaining and extending life

·       Bridges and Underpasses – design, inspections, maintenance, failure

·       Buildings – design, inspections, maintenance, defects, compliance, certification

·       Case Studies and Major Projects
