Preface
Concrete is ubiquitous in the modern world. It is claimed to be the material that
humankind uses most (in volume terms), after water of course. The position of
structural concrete as the prime structural material seems unchallenged nowadays.
However, to remain so and to continue serving well the world, concrete has to con-
tinuously adapt to the economic, social and technical developments around the
globe: the demand for sustainable use and re-use of material resources, the threat of
climate change, the pressures in the developing world for more affordable housing,
the need of the developed world to extend the lifetime of its infrastructures or to
build better and more efficient ones, the desire for safety in a world of increased
natural and man-made hazards, etc.
To rise to the challenge, concrete should be used ingeniously and be combined
more often and better with other materials, profiting from recent advances in their
science and technology. The emergence of new types of concrete and of novel com-
binations with other materials holds great promise for application. Indeed, recent
years have seen enormous advances in the technology of concrete as a material,
through which its strength, compactness and ductility can reach levels never dreamed
of before. Thanks to these improved material properties, the strength and the dura-
bility of concrete structures is greatly improved, their weight and dimensions
reduced, the scope of concrete as a structural material is widened and – despite the
higher material costs – overall economy is possible, with positive impacts on sus-
tainability as well. Similar advances are underway in reinforcing materials, notably
high strength steel and fibre-reinforced polymers, and in the way they are combined
with concrete into high performance structures. Developments in materials and
equipment, as well as new concepts, have lead to innovative construction techniques,
reducing cost and construction time and making possible the application of concrete
under extreme conditions of construction or environment. These are leading in turn
to new design concepts, answering a critique often heard nowadays that great inno-
vations in concrete construction seem to be a thing of the past.
Top experts in the field of concrete structures, active in the leading and truly
international scientific and technical association in Structural Concrete – the
International Federation of Structural Concrete (fib) – gathered on the Greek island

of Corfu in early October 2010 for the Workshop on “Innovative Materials and
Concepts in Concrete Construction”.
The Workshop has been organized in the framework and with the financial sup-
port of Grant FP7-REGPOT-2007-1, no. 204697, of the European Community to
the University of Patras within the Regional Potential part of its seventh Framework
Programme (2007–2013). The Grant, titled: “Advanced Centre of Excellence in
Structural and Earthquake Engineering (ACES)” www.aces.upatras.gr, supports
the Structures Group of the Civil Engineering Department at the University of
Patras to develop further its material and human resources, enhance its interna-
tional reputation and pave the way for its younger generation of faculty. A first
ACES Workshop, “Advances in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering”, had
taken place again in Corfu in July 2009. Its Proceedings have also been published
by Springer, as Vol. 13 of the Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering
series (ISBN 978-90-481-8745-4).
The International Scientific Committee of ACES, representing the networking
partners of the University of Patras in the project, and composed of:
Michel Bouchon, Univ. J. Fourier, Grenoble (FR)
Michel Géradin, JRC, Ispra (IT)
Haig Gulvanessian, BRE (UK)
Giuseppe Mancini, Politecnico di Torino (IT)
Urs Meier, EMPA, Zurich (Ch)
Artur Pinto, JRC, Ispra (IT)
Jean-Claude Quéval, CEA, Saclay (FR)
Joost Walraven, Technical University Delft (NL)
have greatly assisted the organizers of the Corfu Workshop and contributed to its
s uccess, as they have done for the first ACES Workshop in 2009. They have effec-
tively been the Scientific Committee of both Workshops. Our thanks go to all of
them.
The editor of this volume and co-ordinator of ACES project gratefully acknowl-
edges the support of his co-worker Dr. Dionysis Biskinis for the organization of the
2010 ACES Workshop and his help for this Volume. Special thanks are also due to Ms.
Vassia Vayenas for her exemplary work for the preparation of these Proceedings.
