SPARC Workshop
About the workshop
The Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration (SPARC) aims at improving the research ecosystem of India’s Higher Educational Institutions by facilitating academic and research collaborations between Indian Institutions and the best institutions in the world from 28 selected nations to solve problems or national and international relevance. For more details, visit www.sparc.iitkgp.ac.in. The TLC2 group at IIT Madras has been engaged in the following three SPARC projects:
- Sustainability of Novel Cementitious Binders Derived from Industrial By-Products (P758)
- Towards Durability Specifications with Recycled Aggregate Concrete (P844)
- Enhancing the Durability and Sustainability of Concrete Structures in Emerging Economies (P834)
This half-day workshop will present the major insights gained from these projects. The state-of-the-art technologies to valorize various industrial by-products and recycle waste materials to make durable reinforced concrete systems will be discussed. The lectures will also discuss how to implement the use of such materials and technologies to construct durable structures (say, with a specific target service life) in emerging economies.
