During the hardening process of concrete, volume changes occur due to chemical reactions as well as changes in temperature and humidity. Volume shrinkage of concrete during the hardening process is an important cause of concrete cracking. Mastering the mechanism of volume change in concrete and taking measures to ensure its volume stability is crucial for the durability and long-term service performance of concrete structures.
As one of the activities of RILEM TC 284-CEC, the ISVCHC focuses on the Measurement, Mechanisms and Mitigation of Volume Changes of Hardening Concrete. The symposium provides a platform for knowledge exchange within academia and practice, and has the final goal of improving the construction quality and thus extending the service life of concrete structures.
The Pre-conference Doctoral Course, Volume Changes of Concrete, provides the opportunity for participants to become familiar with Volume Changes of Concrete. The course will present the advanced knowledge on mechanisms, measurement and modeling of Volume Changes of Concrete as well as typical technologies on shrinkage mitigation. Lectures will be given by renowned experts from different research fields. Participants will work together during a number of the course modules.The course is sponsored by RILEM EAC through TC 284-CEC.

The International Symposium on Volume Changes of Hardening Concrete is not only a platform for participants to display their academic (technical) achievements, learn the most advanced results and academic (technical) innovation ideas, exchange ideas and enhance friendship, but also a platform for cement concrete enterprises to publicize and show their own image to the world. For conference sponsorship, sponsorship fees and booth prices, please contact the Conference Secretariat (Contact Us). The number of booths is limited, interested in publicity units, please contact as soon as possible.

Pre-conference Doctoral Course Volume Changes of Concrete will consist lectures, written exercises, lab exercises, poster and participant presentations, technical tour and other activities.
