The committee overseeing the 6th North American Conference on Design and Use of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC 2016), May 15-18, 2016, in Washington, D.C., is reviewing abstracts for candidate papers and presentations through July 31. It invites engineers, architects, public works officials, material suppliers, researchers, academics, students, contractors, and concrete industry professionals to share their research, experiences and accomplishments in advancing SCC production and practice by submitting abstracts via the conference portal, www.scc2016.com.

Abstracts are encouraged on topics ranging from SCC materials and design methodology to production and quality control. Performance measurement, economics and sustainability of SCC are also topics for consideration. Led by Missouri S&T Center for Infrastructure Engineering Studies, the SCC 2016 program will be combined with the 8th International RILEM Symposium on Self-Compacting Concrete, and co-located with the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s International Concrete Sustainability Conference.

NRMCA is calling for 2016 ICSC paper or presentation abstracts through October 30, submitted via conference portal, www.2016icsc.org. Abstracts are encouraged on topics ranging from resilience and low impact development to life cycle assessment and material science. Topics related to corporate social responsibility are also encouraged.
