Events calendar
6th International Workshop on Concrete Spalling due to Fire Exposure
Controlling the sensitivity of concrete to spalling during fire exposure is one of the major issues in the design and construction of concrete structures and infrastructure today. The Fire Spalling Workshop 2019 will be held in Sheffield, UK. The Workshop will focus on real-world experiences and observations, practical applications, experimental and numerical advances, as well as structural design.
The 6th International Workshop on Concrete Spalling due to Fire Exposure concentrates on real-world experiences and observations, practical applications, experimental and numerical advances, as well as structural design. The aim of the workshop is to obtain an overview of the current level of knowledge and to stimulate discussion between researchers and representatives from industry, authorities and code-making bodies in order to promote further understanding.
