Preface
This book is the result of the International Workshop on "Concrete Technology for a
Stustainable Development in the 21st. Century", that was organized in Lofoten, Norway,
June 24-26, 1998. The Workshop took place in conjunction with the Second
International Conference on Concrete Under Severe Conditions - Environment and
Loading" CONSEC'98, in Troms0, Norway, June 21-24, 1998. Both events were a
following up from CONSEC'95 in Sapporo, Japan, August 2-4, 1995, and the
International Workshop on "Rational Design of Concrete Structures" in Hakodate, Japan,
August 7-9, 1995.
The purpose of the Lofoten Workshop was to focus on both problems and challenges for
the concrete industry in the 21st. Century with emphasis on environmental consciousness.
The concrete industry is a large consumer of natural resources that has a big impact on
the natural environment. Therefore, the concrete industry has a great responsibility both
for a more efficient utilization of these resources, and for taking steps to prevent
environmental degradation and to create a better harmony with the natural environment.
In addition to the consumption of natural resources for concrete production, the
production of portland cement is based on a very energy consuming industrial process.
The production of each ton portland cement also releases approximately one ton of
carbon dioxide in addition to a number of other polluting constituents to the atmosphere.
Both premature corrosion of embedded steel and inadequate structural design for seismic
loading are two 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 both a local and global environmental problem.
It is a great challenge for the concrete industry, therefore, to obtain a more controlled
service Life of concrete structures. In this respect, it is important to further develop and
utilize high-performance concrete and to integrate structural and durability design as well
as to develop more appropriate systems for operation and preventive maintenance of
concrete structures. For seismic loading, it is important to improve the basis for
structural design. A more rational planning and flexible design for future needs of the
individual concrete structures are also important.
In many countries, large amounts of concrete waste from demolished concrete structures
are produced, most of which is simply dumped. Another challenge, therefore, is to
develop a basis for recycling as much as possible or for total recycling of the concrete
like that for other structural materials such as steel and aluminum.
In addition to the conventional utilization of concrete as a structural material, concrete
also has a great potential for a further contribution to the solving of many environmental
problems. More industrial wastes and by-products can be utilized for concrete
production. Concrete can also be more utilized for containment and embedment of
