After water, concrete is the second most used material on earth and due to its robustness, versatility, and cost, it is most important to the provision of national infrastructure. However, concrete is now considered unsustainable, because of the carbon footprints of the materials used, inappropriately specified and manufactured, resulting in resource inefficiency and durability concerns and the methods are being explored to mitigate these factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: \" open sans rgb font-size:=\"\" margin-top:=\"\" margin-bottom:=\"\" padding:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003eThe UKIERI Collaborative Concrete Research Group organised this Congress under the theme of Concrete for 21st Century Construction, 8-10 March 2011 to address new developments in concrete and construction and their role in responding to the rapid growth in national infrastructure demands.
