Concrete is a universal construction material widely used in providing any infrastructure for the well being of humanity. Concrete tec hnology is rapidly changing because concrete for the future must be strong er\, durable\, constructible\, green\,
\npredictable and cost effect ive. In the last two decades\, phenomenal developments have been made in c oncrete construction throughout the world. Development of high strength co ncrete\, use of admixtures\, special mixing and application techniques are some of the examples. Use of environmentally friendly materials\, recycli ng of concrete\, and utilization of industrial wastes in
\nmanufactu re of concrete has also been in practice to ensure sustainable resources f or our future generation. There have been problems associated with alkali- aggregate reaction\, faster than normal degradation due to environmental f actors\, corrosion of reinforcement and deficiencies in construction pract ices leading to some catastrophic failures. Nevertheless\, the civil engin eer today has a number of possibilities for improvement in the quality of concrete. There is enormous potential for use of polymers\, fibres (manufa ctured\, natural or waste)\, admixtures and nano materials in concrete man ufacture for better strength and durability. Innovation is the key to futu re development and for this a multidisciplinary effort is required. This i n turn requires the civil engineering fraternity involving academia\, rese archers and practising engineers as well as the scientists and mathematici ans to work together. Keeping the above in view\, the School of Civil Engi neering of Krunya University is organizing
\nthis National Conferenc e as the premier forum for the presentation of new advances and research r esults in the fields of theoretical\, experimental\, and applied technolog ies in Concrete Technology. The conference will bring together graduate \nstudents\, leading researchers\, engineers and scientists in
