MINI SESSION: Impact of Aggregates on the Long-Term Performance of Concrete
Tuesday, March 31, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Midway
To highlight the impact of aggregates on the long-term performance of concrete and to propose better ways to use aggregates towards low global warning potential.
Learning Objectives:
(1) Understanding of the main durability related issues in concrete associated to aggregates;
(2) Knowledge of the current state of the art in methods to prevent those issues;
(3) Knowledge of new protocols proposed to diminish durability issues in concrete related to aggregates;
(4) Discussion on suitable pathways moving forward on the topic to decrease durability related issues associated to aggregates and increase sustainability of concrete construction.
